Beneath Deep Space

"...Everyone hide in the corner or next to the pillar! Don't panic, hide everyone!"

Yu Yifeng kept shouting loudly while pressing his body against the pillar behind him.

He looked at more and more cracks on the ceiling, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart...

The power of an individual is always limited. Even if he is a super human, no matter how fast he reacts or how powerful he is, he cannot prevent this disaster from happening!

Everyone felt like they had been caught in a trap, and it was really frustrating. We are five hundred meters underground and it is not an open air place. Even if there is a landslide, there is no place to run!

"It's about to collapse! Everyone is hiding in the corner...waiting for rescue!" He could only squat beside the pillar and shouted anxiously.

The shaking underground is getting bigger and bigger, possibly because of the engine explosion, causing some chain collapse reaction. After a few seconds, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the entire cave suddenly collapsed!

With a "crash" sound, large and small rocks fell down, and people suddenly let out bursts of exclamations.

A huge falling rock rubbed against the power armor and hit Yu Yifeng, almost crushing his feet, leaving only a small gap.

Immediately afterwards, more rocks, large and small, fell down...

Yu Yifeng secretly lamented his good luck. Now everyone only cares about their own life and death, how can they care about others!

While protecting his head with his hands, he cursed in his mind. The engine was three hours ahead of schedule. Those damn bugs must have broken the water tank in the cooling room!

Otherwise... the safety mechanism of the nuclear engine has been carefully designed by scientists, and it is usually impossible to advance the situation!

This nuclear explosion caused a small earthquake of magnitude 4 to 5, which might not be considered a big deal on Earth. But that might be a big deal in a place like this, which is a honeycomb-like cave environment!

For a time, large and small landslides occurred one after another. It is unknown how many bugs were killed by nuclear explosions, and how many animals were buried alive...

This huge cave of two hundred square meters could not withstand the shaking of the earth. Yu Yifeng and the others were truly buried!

Fortunately, most of the 100 people were hiding in the corner and wearing thick power armor. I don’t know what the situation is...

During an earthquake like this, it's safest to hide in a corner. Because when hiding in a corner, even if a stone falls, it may not hit the head directly, but may lean against the wall diagonally.

In this way, a "triangular space" is created, which not only provides a living space, but also can resist falling objects.

But some people have good luck, and some people have bad luck.

Especially - the eight people who just wanted to go out on an adventure were in a very bad situation!

The landslide came so suddenly, and they were buried alive by the collapsed tunnel! Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath their feet seemed unable to bear the weight of the rocks above, and a large hole suddenly appeared!

A group of people rolled down the cave together with a large number of stones...

At this time, who could care about other people? There were falling rocks and shouting everywhere, and no one noticed the eight people who fell in the distance.

These falling rocks instantly formed a huge debris flow, driving these people towards deeper caves! In the face of this natural power, even if humans wear power armor, they have no room for resistance. They can only accept it like a dead pig...

Some soldiers even passed out directly...

The entire collapse lasted for three to five minutes before the cave slowly returned to calm.

Yu Yifeng shook his head, feeling that his whole body was pressed down by stones, leaving only a small space for movement. After he woke up from the chaotic state, he quickly turned on the internal communicator and asked everyone not to move around and keep their mood stable to reduce oxygen consumption.

"... Don't worry, everyone, we have just changed the oxygen and it can last for two to three days. The rescue team outside will find us soon!"

In fact, Yu Yifeng was not sure whether people outside could find the person buried five hundred meters under...

I don’t know how long it has been...

"Leo, wake up, wake up quickly!"

Private Leo suddenly felt someone tapping his helmet. He was one of the eight soldiers who went out on an expedition.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw the person in front of him, he subconsciously shouted: "Squadron Captain!"

"Check your body quickly. Is there any internal bleeding? Can you still move?"

The name of the eight-person team leader was Wu Hao, and he asked anxiously.

After he woke up, he found himself in an unknown huge cave, where the temperature was even as high as 18 degrees Celsius!

After hearing Wu Hao's words, Leo felt sore all over his body, and he didn't know how many somersaults he had done in the mudslide.

He examined it carefully and forced himself to stand. "It's nothing serious... I should still be able to move! It's just that my ankle was twisted a few times, so it's fine!"

"That's good!"

Wu Hao was immediately overjoyed: "Let's dig out the others quickly!"

He shouted into the communicator: "If you are still conscious, please report your location!"

Suddenly, calls for help came from the pile of rocks in twos and threes. They were all buried under piles of rocks, completely unable to move.

Wu Hao turned on the power armor chainsaw on his left hand, which instantly made a spinning sound. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go dig rocks!"

Soon, several comrades who were buried shallowly were dug out, and all of them turned out to be fine!

It was the power armor that saved their lives. Without this layer of strong metal armor, they would have lost arms and legs in the mudslide, and they might not even have died.

In fact, except for the fact that the helmet is not resistant to acid corrosion, there is nothing to fault about the performance of this set of equipment. Even the glass in the helmet is designed to be corrosion-resistant, so sulfuric acid and aqua regia are no longer a problem.

But the biological acid secreted by black insects is acid that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years. People never thought of it beforehand, and it’s no wonder the scientists.

The more people rescued, the faster the digging will be. After more than three hours of digging, all eight people were dug out and gathered together to discuss their current situation.

"There is still enough oxygen, so we can last for about three days, and the food is enough for two days. However, we don't carry much cryogenic gas, so we can only last for five hours... The situation is not good!"

Another young man suddenly said: "Squadron Captain... If it doesn't work out, we can bury ourselves in the soil to resist those black insects. But this way we can only passively wait for rescue..."

This is a good idea.

Wu Hao thought for a moment and nodded decisively: "Okay, let's search here first to see if there is an exit to the top. If the freezing gas runs out and black insects are attracted, we can only wait passively. "

"Okay... everyone, follow closely! Please raise your vigilance to the highest level!"

The remaining people immediately stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Yes! Sir!"

A group of people groped deeper underground, the cave became more open, and more strange creatures were encountered.

These creatures were generally larger in size. When they encountered these eight people, they were all on guard and then retreated far away.

But they were just soldiers, not scientists, and they didn't have the leisure and grace to stop and appreciate it.

An hour later, Wu Hao and others came to a warm and humid area. The instrument showed that the surface temperature had reached 20 degrees Celsius. It was really getting hotter!

Wu Hao suddenly stopped, as if he saw something strange, and he quickly gestured behind him.

Suddenly everyone was holding guns and surrounded Wu Hao.

And he squatted down and fiddled with a bunch of things with his hands.

A clump of... glowing fungi!

A bunch of glowing fungi tied together like a bouquet!

These luminous fungi grow a bit like bean sprouts. The root fibers at the bottom are tightly tied by a vine-like rope, and the top is arranged, like a bouquet of luminous flowers!
