Chapter 352 A Call From Another Dimension
The three of them began to climb down the stairs, and every thirteen steps, there was a semicircular platform for people to stand on.
Misia looked down through the edge of the stairs, and all she saw in front of her was darkness that stretched beyond the horizon.
Coupled with this dim environment, it has to be said that such a depressing environment can easily cause psychological problems.
step, step, step,
In the not-so-empty space, there are no windows, only the faint light of a flashlight.
And the footsteps of the three members of the Horizon Team echoed.
For the first hour, they remember how many levels they have gone through.
In addition to the flashlight, Di Luke also held a portable depth gauge in his hand.
Due to caution, they are now only at a depth of [-] meters underground.
The communication failed half an hour ago.
Before the failure, there was no accident, and Wang Chuan did not issue a new order.
So they are still going down the stairs normally and boringly.
At the same time, although the three members of the horizon team are still in a good state of mind.
But anxiety has quietly begun to appear.
"Has it only been an hour?" Misia complained.
They were descending too slowly, making it even more apparent that time passed slowly.
"Be patient, be patient, and as soon as we find our mental state going up and down, we stop and rest."
Di Luke reassured.
Violet also continued: "That's right, we don't lack time here, the only thing we have to worry about is ourselves."
Next,
two hours, three hours,
Until one day, two days,
Three days later, the Horizon team took its first break.
At this time, they had no idea how deep they had penetrated into the ground.
The number displayed by the portable depth measuring instrument in his hand has already reached four digits, but Di Luke can be sure that this instrument is no longer accurate.
So they sat on the semi-circular platform, leaning against the wall.
"I'm about to lose the concept of time." Violet described her situation.
That's right, since the depth gauge is not trustworthy, it also means that the watch in their hands is not trustworthy either.
Di Luke and Misia leaned on the other side, closing their eyes and meditating.
Misiya, who was the first to complain, was in the worst state at this time, closed her eyes and said, "I didn't expect that staying here would be such a torment. I would rather fight Hydra."
Di Luke kept boosting his spirit through various psychological hints, so he was in the best condition among the three at the moment.
Suddenly, the flashlight in Di Luke's hand flickered a few times, and finally went dark.
Without any surprise, Diluk threw away the dead flashlight and took out another one from his bag.
"Five hours later, it will be time to go to bed again. To be honest, I think it is necessary to have a psychiatrist when I come down to explore." Misia said weakly.
"If the psychiatrist didn't go crazy first. After all, as the saying goes, a doctor can't heal himself." Violet didn't have any hope for the effect of this.
"Violet, you have been affected by the dim environment, and your negative thoughts are not conducive to our subsequent exploration." Diluk reminded him in time.
"You're right, let's do something to lift our spirits."
"for example?"
"I brought a deck of cards."
"In this darkness?"
"Then what do you think of bringing a game console next time?"
Huh, the three of them chatted one after another, hoping to dissipate the dark atmosphere.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Di Luke said: "What I am worried about is that we have not encountered the voice mentioned in the intelligence yet."
"It stands to reason that we have already approached the limit depth explored by the last team."
"There are also their corpses. Although there are still some obvious traces of man-made things, that's all." Violet couldn't figure it out either.
"Maybe there really is something unknown here."
"But we can't be vigilant all the time!" Misia said.
"We just need to maintain the minimum spirit, let's go."
This time, the three of them had not been down the stairs for long, probably only ten minutes.
They see what was talked about before.
When Diluk's flashlight shone on the platform below them, several corpses suddenly appeared in front of them.
Misiya moved the fastest, jumped down the stairs in two or three steps, and came to the dead team members.
"Be careful around you! Violet!"
"Yes!"
Violet immediately became vigilant, using the flashlight to shine back and forth in the narrow stairs.
Afterwards, Di Luke also walked to the corpse.
Misia, who had already checked the corpse, said: "There was no obvious trauma, and the body was in a sub-healthy state before death. He died of great pain, but the cause of death is temporarily unknown. And everyone's symptoms are exactly the same."
Di Luke also checked afterwards, and didn't see anything more than Misia.
So Di Luke stood up and shook his head, "The lack of instruments is already the limit now. Collect the materials that can still be used, and we will continue to go deeper."
"Yes." Misia immediately got busy.
Di Luke didn't stay in a daze either, he and Violet began to guard the surroundings.
"We could be attacked anytime from now on."
10 minutes later,
Misia quickly collected all the supplies. Although the quantity is not much, it can be regarded as a little supply.
Next, without wasting any more time,
Horizon Team is on the road again.
However, the expected attack did not happen immediately.
In the next few days, they continued to descend in a dim environment.
And encountered a dead UIU agent team again.
However, it is obvious that the downward speed of the horizon team is getting slower and slower.
Compared with the initial speed, it has dropped by more than half.
"Our current depth is."
Di Luke picked up the depth gauge again, and the number displayed on it was six kilometers underground.
So deep underground, the composition of the air remained unchanged, and Di Luke took a deep breath.
Moreover, their surroundings have not changed from the beginning.
"I suspect this staircase is endless. Go back, captain." Misia's mental state became even worse.
Immediately, it will start to rely on drugs to support it.
"Although the current depth is likely to be inaccurate, I am willing to believe that we have gone this deep."
"Then, do you want to continue?" Violet also saw the numbers on the instrument.
"We haven't encountered that sound yet. Also, where we are, the depth of the earth's crust is 23 kilometers, and we have already traveled one-third of the way."
Analyzing the current situation, Di Luke also showed that he did not want to give up.
But after seeing Misia's state, Di Luke gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat! Bring back the existing information."
