Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine - Chapter 182

“The core area of ​​the large ruins requires corresponding special items to open?”

Seeing the message from Roger, Meng Lei fell into deep thought.

For a long time, regarding the so-called alien ruins, an ancient and mysterious building, his cognition was just a concept of a model lake, without a clear outline.

He originally thought that as long as these ruins appeared, a comprehensive exploration could be carried out directly, without any other additional conditions.

But I didn’t expect that the core area of ​​the large ruins has certain special restrictions on the opening conditions.

This was the first time he had heard of this situation, and he couldn’t help but feel a strong curiosity.

“What secrets are hidden in the core area of ​​the large ruins? And what is the so-called ‘key’? Why did Roger speculate that a ‘key’ appeared in the nearby sea area based on the abnormal phenomenon in Modo City?”

With doubts and curiosity, Meng Lei continued to look down.

“The ‘key’ that can open the core area of ​​the large-scale ruins, judging from the information we have collected so far, is not uniform.

It may be an obelisk engraved with special runes, or it may be a fossil of an unknown creature, or it may be the crystallization of some unknown technology…

All kinds of weird items may be ‘keys’.

The Tia people have been exploring alien planets for so many years, and there are only less than 20 known types of keys in total, and some of the information has been sealed in the scientific research outpost in the deep area, and now it has become history.

As far as the ‘keys’ currently held by the alliance and the separatist organizations, there are only eleven types left.

Of course, this is the information I can get, and that’s all for the time being. As for whether the alliance has deliberately concealed unknown information, and whether more unknown ‘keys’ have been discovered, I cannot give a clear judgment.

But in general, although all the ‘keys’ are not unified in type, they have one thing in common.

That is, they all have some kind of special and strange ‘nature’!

For example, the obelisk with mysterious runes all over the body obtained by the third sea area, its material itself does not belong to any material known so far, and it is somewhat similar to the material of the ruin itself.

And perhaps it is the effect of those mysterious runes, that obelisk has a very strange burning ‘nature’!

Even in the deep sea of ​​more than 4,000 meters below sea level, its body will burn fiercely. If it is not contained in time, the burning effect can reach several kilometers away, and the entire nearby sea area will be turned into boiling water !

In addition, the first sea area has also accommodated a mysterious alien technology crystal, which itself has a certain electromagnetic pulse ‘nature’.

But all the electronic equipment that gets close will suffer serious failures, making it impossible for the submarine to pass in that sea area…”

Seeing this, Meng Lei suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

These “keys” mentioned by Roger seem to have great similarities with the alien relics in their various “natures”.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

From the effect point of view, there should be some connection between the two, and they have similar origins.

Looking further down, Roger really mentioned this too.

“Having said so much, you should have seen some clues.

Indeed, these mysterious ‘keys’ that can open the core area of ​​the large ruins actually have the same characteristics to some extent as the alien relics that represent the nature of the ruins themselves.

However, the appearance and shape of the alien relics are generally consistent, but the existence of the ‘key’ is not uniform, it may be any object.

Moreover, the characteristics of the ‘key’ itself are not as stable as the alien relics. ”

“For example, the obelisk with the mysterious runes carved on it, sometimes the fire is so strong that it can burn the earth!

But sometimes, it will inexplicably fall silent, just like an ordinary stone tablet.

This is why I guess that in the sea area near Modo City, there may be a ‘key’ to open the large ruins, because the hallucinations in Modo City are unstable and full of randomness.

This is very similar to the characteristics of the ‘key’.

And if this is the case, then there is no doubt that the type of relic corresponding to this ‘key’ must be a relic of spiritual pollution! ”

Roger didn’t send out a long paragraph of detailed instructions in one go.

Every once in a while, a paragraph of text will appear on the screen of the handheld tablet, and then the capacity of the previous paragraph will continue to be supplemented.

It wasn’t until the tone of the final statement became very certain that Roger seemed to have made a conclusion and confirmed the source of the hallucination incident in Modo City. The text message stopped abruptly here, and there was no movement for a long time.

Meng Lei took a sip of coffee silently, connected all the information provided by Roger, and went through it carefully in his mind.

If this information is true, then the truth may indeed be as Roger judged.

Everything that happens here is caused by the so-called “key”.

The cause of all events was that mysterious earthquake.

A mysterious earthquake that occurred in the middle of the night threw out a “key” with a source of spiritual pollution, which triggered a large-scale collective hallucination phenomenon in Modo City.

However, due to the instability of the “key” itself, this hallucination does not continue to occur, but appears intermittently and randomly.

This is exactly the same as the current situation in Modo City.

“However, there are still many doubts about this explanation. The source of the earthquake is in the abyss of the sea more than 30 kilometers east of Modo City. No matter how powerful the pollution effect of the ‘key’ is, it is impossible to affect such a wide range.

Could it be that the earthquake directly threw the ‘key’ near Modo City? ! ”

“But, what happened to the investigation team’s disappearance? Why did Grote turn back alone? In the end, he disappeared in the city?”

Meng Lei frowned tightly, constantly analyzing various possibilities in his mind.

However, there are too few clues, and the information he has so far is not sufficient, he still can’t figure out why.

After a while, he sent a message to Roger again to ask, expressing all the doubts in his heart, trying to get Roger to give a more reasonable analysis.

Unfortunately, Roger also expressed his helplessness.

“The situation in Modo City is more complicated. The Moken family was an underground force that the Alliance intended to support in the early years, but as the Alliance’s policy on the Barona gathering place has been relaxed again and again, the family’s ambitions have gradually expanded, and now they are somewhat dissatisfied. Control.

In addition, the war between the Alliance and the Separatist Organization kicked off, and the tide of space also broke out suddenly. The Alliance itself is already overwhelmed, and it is difficult to impose constraints on the Moken Family.

Regarding the situation in Modo City, there is nothing I can do here, everything can only be relied on by yourself.

In addition, the existence and source of the ‘key’ is still an unsolved mystery.

In the past, the process of discovering and finding the key was mostly a coincidence without any reference value.

I can’t help you much in this regard either.

I can only say that if you are really trapped in Modo City, I will try my best to help you escape.

I can’t help you with other things…”

Roger’s last words finally reassured Meng Lei.

What he is most worried about now is that he will not be able to come out after entering the city, and will eventually be involved in the chaos of Modo City.

Since Roger has a way to help them escape, naturally he doesn’t have to think too much about it.

The current situation is to deal with the necessary things as soon as possible, and then leave this place of right and wrong. Other things that happen here have nothing to do with them in the final analysis.

I had a brief chat with Roger. He seemed to be busy with business, so Meng Lei didn’t bother him too much.

Returned to the captain’s cabin and fell into a deep sleep.

Until around 2:50 in the afternoon, Meng Lei was awakened from the drowsy dream world by the piercing alarm.

Due to lack of sleep, he is in a very bad state of mind at the moment.

But after washing his face with cold water, compared to the morning, his brain is undoubtedly much clearer, but his eyes are still slightly sore.

However, the agreed meeting time was three o’clock in the afternoon, and he didn’t dare to rest any longer, for fear of missing the duty time of the two security officers.

I contacted Zhang Chao and the others through the short-distance communication channel, and the same group of operators in the morning completed the assembly in the dock passage where the fleet was docked.

“Have you brought all the medicines?”

In the corridor, Meng Lei looked around and checked his equipment for the last time before departure.

In order to deal with the mental pollution that may erupt in the city at any time, Meng Lei told the ship doctor of each ship in the fleet to prepare some anti-psychic pollution medicine.

These medicines can’t offset the mental impact of the Abyss Banshee’s screams, but they have a certain degree of resistance to the mental pollution caused by the alien relics, which can make people break free from the hallucinations and return to normal as soon as possible.

However, this potion cannot be used frequently, and it also contains a small amount of psychotoxin.

Excessive use in a short period of time, the body’s metabolic function will not be able to excrete the psychotoxins in the medicine in time, and it will also cause very serious sequelae to people.

It can only be used as an emergency, not as a cure.

“I have brought the Commander, three bottles per person, almost two days’ worth.”

“Um.”

Meng Lei nodded slightly, and stopped talking too much, and immediately led everyone to walk towards the passageway of the dock next door.

After such a long time, the sea monster corpses and dead leaves in the corner are still left unattended.

The rancid and sea smell in the air was so strong that it couldn’t be removed, and even the ventilation system couldn’t completely purify the smell.

It can be seen from this that the situation in Modo City may be more serious than imagined, and even the basic cleanliness of the city has no time to take care of.

If things go on like this, it is easy to cause bacteria to rampage and inadvertently destroy the entire city.

Everyone held their breath, resisting the stench and walking all the way.

At the end of the passageway in the dock next door, the two security officers were still on duty, standing bored at the entrance of the airlock, pointing their guns one after the other at the inside and outside of the passageway, prohibiting anyone from passing through.

Following the sound of dense footsteps, figures of Meng Lei and his party appeared in the corridor one after another.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a much better attitude when we met again, and he enthusiastically went forward and asked Meng Lei:

“How about it, buddy? Think it through?”

Meng Lei handed over two cigarettes, smiled and nodded:

“Think about it, our ship is seriously damaged, and we can no longer continue sailing. We must go to the city for urgent maintenance. I hope the two elder brothers will accommodate us and let us pass.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged security officer shrugged helplessly, waved his hands and said:

“Okay, since you guys have thought it through, I won’t say anything more, but…”

After a pause, the middle-aged security officer approached Meng Lei and whispered:

“Dude, don’t blame me for not reminding you in advance, you can enter the city, but don’t cause trouble for me! Once someone finds out that we put you in, don’t blame me for turning your face and denying you!”

Meng Lei responded with a smile: “That’s natural, we just went to the shipyard, there will be no complications, don’t worry!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged security officer smiled knowingly, and waved open the airlock door leading to the city.

“Go, go, it depends on your luck whether you can come out, if the city is not unblocked after the shift change, we have a chance to go to the ‘Soho Bar’ for a drink!”

The middle-aged security officer patted Meng Lei on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

Naturally, Meng Lei would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The heavy hatch opened slowly, and a gust of fresh air rushed in.

Under the pale light, Meng Lei led the crowd to walk in the front, and stepped into the airlock chamber with a size of 70 to 80 square meters.

As the hatch behind him closed again, the gate to Modo City finally opened a gap.

After a while, the pure metal street scene in a sci-fi movie slowly appeared in front of my eyes.

It is said that the facilities connected with the docks are a street, but it is not always true.

After all, this is just the outer area of ​​Modo City, on the edge of the city, not really the city center.

Everyone walked along the spacious avenue without seeing anyone.

Due to the closure of the city, under normal circumstances, few people would come to the shipyard, resulting in a deserted surrounding, not like a bustling metropolis at all.

At this time, Hans once again became the guide of the team.

“Captain, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The shipyard area is still deep in the city. We will walk along this passage for about forty minutes, and we will almost arrive there.”

With Hans around, Meng Lei and the others didn’t need to look at the signs in the passageway at all. As a live map, Hans took the initiative to take on his own responsibilities.

Meng Lei nodded, but did not speak yet.

On the other side, Zhang Chao, who followed Meng Lei’s footsteps as a full-time bodyguard, suddenly asked:

“Commander, besides the shipyard, what is our next plan? With so many of us walking together, the goal is too big. I’m worried that it will alert the security officers in the city.”

Meng Lei pondered for a while, feeling that Zhang Chao’s words were not unreasonable.

After a short thought, he turned his head and looked at Hans who was beside him, and asked:

“The guide to the Barona colony, where should we start looking?”
