"From now on, the Japanese branch should have cut off contact with the headquarters."
"The reason is very simple. The Sheqi family doesn't want anyone to pry into the secrets here. This place is called Gao Tianyuan. It was once the territory of gods and the place where gods were buried, so it is also called the burial place of gods."
"Here is the secret that the eight Sheqi families have guarded to this day."
"When the headquarters tries to unearth the secrets of this place, it is destined that the two of us will face conflicts and confrontations. The conflicts are irreconcilable. From the standpoint of the Divine Burial Hall, the Eight Sheqi Family will not make any concessions."
Yuan Zhisheng said slowly.
He turned his back to Caesar and Chu Zihang, describing the irreconcilable positions between them. His back was firm and calm, but without any protection, as if he was giving a hint to some two guys.
"Hey, did you see it?" Caesar whispered.
He and Chu Zihang crowded in front of another porthole.
"Well, it looks very much like a Japanese torii." Chu Zihang took out his camera, motioned to Caesar to give way, and took a picture of the majestic torii with a blue-black shimmer in front of him.
"But this torii gate is too high. I read in the travel guide that the Senbon torii gate, which is said to be the grandest in the Fushimi area of Kyoto, is only ten meters high, but this one is probably fifty meters high, right?"
"In Japanese tradition, the torii gate is a symbol of the barrier. Once you step into the torii gate, it means entering the world of gods. The so-called gods are supposed to be ancient dragons. This gate is not for people to pass through, but for dragons to pass through. Ancient books
It is recorded in the book that Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, was a hundred meters long when he spread his wings."
"So this is both an ancient Japanese city and an ancient dragon city?"
"There is no conflict. There is a prehistoric era in Japan called the Age of Gods, which is said to be an era when gods were active in history. The Japanese historical work "Kojiki" was written by connecting the history of gods and human history. Later, some people claimed that
There are prehistoric classics written in characters from the Gods, among which the famous ones are "Hidejin Biography" and "Izumo Grottoes Characters"."
"Hell, isn't the Age of Gods the age of coexistence with the Dragon Clan? The characters of the Age of Gods are...dragon characters?"
"It should be Long Wen. As for coexistence, maybe it would be better to change to domination. That was the era when the dragons ruled the world." Chu Zihang said softly, "Jun Yuan just said that this is Gao Tianyuan. In Japanese mythology, Gao Tianyuan is the place where the gods live.
.”
"Which prince is he? The King of the sea and water?" Caesar asked.
"...It's hard to say." This time Chu Zihang hesitated. He had already gotten the answer from Xia Mi, but he couldn't explain it to Caesar.
"By the way." Caesar suddenly hesitated, "Before we dived, did Professor Schneider repeatedly emphasize that when you see anything related to the door under the sea, you must not approach it and must return unconditionally?"
Chu Zihang fell silent.
This deep submersible turned on the weak power source and relied on the lithium battery to drive the propellers to cruise smoothly. At this moment, it passed steadily under the torii.
The torii gate is also a door.
They have violated the taboo.
"After cutting off contact with the headquarters, we were coerced by Yuan Zhisheng. We had no choice but to drive the deep submersible and continue to move forward. We were not allowed to surface before destroying the embryo. What do you think of this?" Chu Zihang whispered.
"Will we be suspected? There are two of us, and it doesn't sound good to be subdued by him alone." Caesar hesitated.
"But this is the territory of the Japanese branch. Even if we subdue this guy and float up, he will be captured by the branch members on the sea. Don't forget the safety rope." Chu Zihang said seriously.
"Why are you so professional?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.
"I have carried out missions more than twice as many times as you." Chu Zihang looked blank.
Listening to the whispers of the two guys behind him, Yuan Zhisheng finally reached the limit of his endurance.
These two crazy idiots!
Now there is still time to think about how to avoid being held accountable by the headquarters?!
You go back alive first and then talk about it!
"That's enough! You two..." Yuan Zhi turned around angrily, but before he finished speaking, Caesar and Chu Zihang rushed up at the same time and covered his mouth.
Yuan Zhi's vagina shrank due to shock, and his whole body made a sound similar to the dislocation of bones.
He instantly entered the keel state in shock!
Don’t blame him, no one else would be able to resist seeing two naked men rushing towards him...
"Quiet!"
Chu Zihang whispered.
He turned around and came to the console, adjusted the focus of the observation port, and magnified the target captured in the southeast direction on the screen.
It was a huge shadow located on the edge of this ancient dragon city.
Although it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, it was obviously a foreign object that did not belong to this city.
This ancient city is almost entirely made of metal, and after countless years it still glows with an ancient and gorgeous luster, especially under the light of lava, like ancient bronzes illuminated by spotlights.
But that black shadow is not. It has a regular shape and its length exceeds 100 meters according to visual inspection.
It seemed to have rushed into the city at an extremely high speed, leaving huge traces on the rock formations and sliding into the circular open space on the edge of the city.
It is different from other buildings in this ruins. It is covered by unknown black shellfish. Thousands of small snail-like things are tightly gathered on its surface. The texture is like rust. When Chu Zihang is about to leave,
When the camera is pointed at the building, tiny pieces of rust can be seen squirming on the screen.
It's like countless sea creatures burrowing in and out of the whale's bones.
No, it's different.
Whale falling makes people shocked by the cycle of nature, but the scene in front of them makes people's scalp numb and makes them feel uncomfortable all over.
The trio looked at the strange-shaped building ruins as if they were looking at a rising mountain that would collapse at any time.
This is the 134-meter-long icebreaker they are looking for on this trip.
"This should be the Lenin?" Caesar muttered.
"That should be right." Chu Zihang nodded.
"Do you think the embryo is still on board?" Caesar asked.
"...I don't know, but this scene is very unusual. If this is really the Lenin, and it sank twenty years ago, how could there be so many shellfish?"
"Do you suspect that the factor causing this anomaly may be inside the Lenin?"
"Do you still remember that recording?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.
"Wait, what recording?" Yuan Zhisheng interrupted.
Caesar and Chu Zihang raised their fingers to their lips at the same time, making a gesture of silencing him.
"Of course I remember. Wait..." Caesar suddenly said in surprise, "The crew members in the recording were all corroded by dragon blood and transformed into dragons, and here..."
"It's not just these shellfish. If I guess correctly, all the marine life here has been eroded by dragon blood and mutated into dragon subspecies." Chu Zihang looked determined, "And the source of all this is inside the Lenin.
.”
"Caesar, look closer."
"ok!"
Caesar returned to the driving seat, adjusted the propeller, and the old machine turned slightly and headed in the direction of the Lenin.
"Damn! The power is not enough. We have entered the undercurrent. The current is very fast and is pushing us back!" Caesar suddenly cursed secretly.
"Why is there an undercurrent here?" Chu Zihang was stunned.
Encountering undercurrents during deep dives is a common occurrence, just like an aircraft encountering unstable airflow.
If there is uneven temperature distribution in the depths of the sea, undercurrents will form. Marine organisms are good at using these undercurrents to move at high speeds, but human eyes cannot see undercurrents, just like people cannot see the wind.
Some undercurrents are vertical and some are horizontal. They are like invisible spider webs in the ocean. If you get entangled, you will be in trouble.
"The temperature distribution is uneven, the cracks are very hot, and the temperature in the direction of the target seems to be very low," Caesar said.
"Very low?" Chu Zihang looked at the thermometer.
The thermometer shows that the temperature outside the submersible has dropped from a high temperature of several hundred degrees to 5 degrees at some point!
This temperature change is like a frog jumping from a hot pot into a cold water tank, and this bathyscaphe is that frog.
"Why is it so cold?" The trio then realized that the temperature inside the cabin was also dropping rapidly.
They had been too hot just now when they were naked, but now they felt slightly cold.
"I don't know, I only know that there is an extremely cold water area ahead, and the cold water coming from the front is pushing us away." Caesar frowned, "There is a large cold water area around the Lenin, just like its barrier.
It seems like we need more power to rush in! There are not enough propellers!"
The propeller is currently handling full output, but the submersible is just standing still.
It was like there was an invisible barrier blocking them in front of them.
Chu Zihang looked at the oxygen level: "You know, there is another way."
"How do you understand me so well?" Caesar raised his eyebrows, with a flying look between his eyebrows.
He pressed the air valve, and high-pressure air flow spurted out from the tail of the submersible, pushing the frog forward violently.
"Fortunately, the Japanese branch has cut off contact with the headquarters, otherwise I would definitely hear the double filial piety of Professor Schneider and Professor Manstein in my ears now."
Caesar took out his second cigar and said casually.
Yuan Zhisheng's face twitched, these two crazy guys were not only idiots, but also lunatics.
In order to get closer to the sunken ship, they sacrificed their already low oxygen content just to get closer to it.
And the most important thing is that these two bastards don't even have the intention to discuss with themselves!
They didn't even discuss it, just exchanged glances, and they formulated and executed this action!
asshole!
He felt like he was completely ignored, from beginning to end!
"By the way, now that we have cut off contact with Norma, who will scan and analyze it for us?" Caesar suddenly asked.
The sharp sword light flashed past.
Yuan Zhisheng withdrew the sword with an expressionless expression, and the newly lit cigar in Caesar's mouth broke and fell to the ground.
"You have already sacrificed a lot of oxygen in order to move forward. Stop smoking your damn cigar!" Yuan Zhisheng said coldly, "The Eight Sheqi Family has its own artificial system. Kaguya, start analyzing."
"clear."
A soft female voice cut into the channel.
"Oh, this sound is great!" Caesar was not angry at all because the cigar was cut off, but was attracted by Kaguya's voice.
On the screen, Kaguya analyzed the shell-wrapped object in the distance at an alarming speed.
"Preliminary results of the target analysis show that the sunken ship is wide-bodied, about 130 meters in length, about 25 meters in width, and about 15 meters in height. It is a giant ship of about 200,000 tons. Its identity is being compared and analyzed in the navigation database."
Kaguya spoke quickly and clearly.
"No need to compare, it's the Lenin." Chu Zihang's eyes stayed on the area on the screen specially framed by Princess Kaguya.
At the same time, Kaguya's voice sounded again.
"The icebreaker Lenin, the first nuclear-powered icebreaker of the former Soviet Union, was launched on August 24, 1965..."
"It seems we have found the target." Caesar whispered, "Then we will blow it up directly? But how can we be sure that the embryo is on it?"
"Sonar, this deep submersible is equipped with special sonar." Yuan Zhisheng took over the topic and turned to the operating console.
Two heads crowded next to him, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the sonar signal that lit up on the screen.
A huge red dot lit up on the screen, right in front of them!
"Very good, we not only found the Lenin, but also confirmed that the embryo is there..." Caesar's voice suddenly distorted.
Stopped abruptly!
There was dead silence in the cockpit.
The three people stared at the movement on the screen with wide eyes.
There are red dots on the sonar screen one after another, each red dot is beating, each red dot represents a heartbeat, hundreds or even thousands of things are waking up, not just an embryo!
"Do you know what I'm thinking about now?" Caesar said quietly.
"I don't want to know if I can." Chu Zihang lowered his voice, as if any louder voice would alert the waking monsters outside.
"I remembered the field survival training class. The dark clouds were dense that day, and the moonlight was blocked. It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers in the forest. I sat under the tree to rest. The wind sounded very soft, but when I blinked my eyes,
Countless pairs of dim lights suddenly lit up all around, and I was stared at by countless pairs of eyes!" Caesar also narrated in a low voice.
"...You are being targeted by wolves."
"Yes, I was targeted by the wolves that night, and now we are targeted by the 'wolves'." Caesar put his hands on the shoulders of Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng, and said affectionately, "We want to survive together.
It’s hard!”
"Can't you think of something better?" Chu Zihang was helpless.
"Okay?" Caesar thought for a moment, "Yes, do you know who set the record for the fastest exit from our field survival class?"
Chu Zihang couldn't help but look strange.
Yuan Zhisheng said: "I remember he was a Frenchman who chose to quit in one hour and thirty-seven minutes."
Caesar patted him on the shoulder and said regretfully: "That was before. The latest record holder is our fourth absentee, classmate Lu Mingfei. He chose to quit after chewing on the two chocolate sandwich cookies he brought with him.
.”
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Isn't he an S-class? He killed the King of Earth and Mountain with his own hands. How could he be trapped in the wilderness?"
Caesar shrugged and said: "According to personal disclosure, he hates the omnipresent insects in the local area."
After a brief silence, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but nodded and said: "Those bugs are indeed quite annoying."
"Didn't you apply the insect repellent cream specially made by the equipment department beforehand?" Chu Zihang was surprised.
"Is there such a thing?" Yuan Zhisheng looked confused.
Caesar patted his shoulder again and said regretfully: "I remember this was only launched in 2005. You are a tear of the times."
