: 098 Scientific Research Base 02

The bottom of the sea was pitch black.

The searchlight of the Long March 10 can only find a fairly short distance. If you dive rashly, you may encounter problems that the Long March 10 cannot handle.

She dived down with her head depressed, the sea water pressing her body along the way, coupled with the weird atmosphere of this place, made Long March 10 a bit uncomfortable.

But these are not very serious problems.

The real problem lay before her eyes—a half-closed door appeared at the end of the corridor, and some plankton living in the dark and glowing floated in before Long March 10.

This is probably the door to the research room, right? According to Wuhu, there are 98 characters on the gate…

Long March 10 was muttering slowly in her heart. At the same time, she grasped the door frame and floated up gently, reaching out her hand to clean up the algae attached to the door.

A big “8” appeared on the right door, and there were five small characters “Jianniang Research Institute” written in Chinese characters in the corner.

That’s right, Long March 10 rubbed her hands excitedly, and the camera system on her diving goggle immediately took a picture here.

She put her hand on the three cracks, touching the cracks that appeared at an unknown time, the Long March 10 circled in this space, and then approached the traces.

The metal at the end of the trace seems to have been corroded, and many coral plants have begun to grow on it, probably caused by long-term soaking in seawater.

Long March No. 10 tried to push the door hard, but she was sure that it couldn’t be opened normally. She could only feel wronged by herself to shrink her breasts and squeezed in.

After entering the scientific research base, the field of vision became extremely broad.

The entire research base is laid flat on the seabed, the area is small but definitely not small.

Long March 10 walked around the edge of the base to confirm that the inner wall of the base had not encountered any major trauma, nor was there any large-scale damage. Even the waterproof high-pressure windows of the base were intact.

So, this place shouldn’t be flooded? How could the 50-year-old drainage system collapse as soon as it collapsed, especially in country C, a country with a large infrastructure will not cut corners in this regard.

Could it be water seeping through the wall? Making the assumption in this way, Long March 10 opened its scanning panel and began to check the integrity of the laboratory buildings one by one.

To her surprise, the scan results also showed that everything in this place was intact, and even the drainage equipment could be restarted.

Then why…

“Long March 10 called Wuhu, please answer if you receive it.” Seeing nothing abnormal, Long March 10 decided to ask Wuhu for help.

After a burst of noise in the communication, Wuhu’s voice came out from the headset: “Wuhu received, if you have any instructions, please tell me.”

“I have already arrived at the research room. After testing, the water drainage and waterproof functions of the research room are still intact. I would like to ask for instructions on the next step.”

Isn’t it obvious that he wants to open the drainage system? Wuhu complained about the scene of Long March 10 in her heart, but she still turned her attention to Shandong: “Sir, how to decide.”

“Are there any deep-sea creatures that can pose a threat underground?” Shandong asked with a frown.

“No sir, but I scanned a lot of human remains below, as well as some carnivorous fish.”

Human remains? Shandong frowned, and Wuhu, who had already read her mind, quickly pulled out the information and reported to Shandong: “Sir, when the 098 scientific research base was attacked, no scientific research personnel were successfully evacuated.”

That’s why it’s not just Chi Yuan’s mother who was killed here, but also other scientific researchers.

Shandong nodded, and then subconsciously pressed the headset: “Long March 10, open the drainage system and wait for us to come down.”

At the same time, Wuhu passed all the positions of the lighting and power switches of the scientific research base to Long March 10.

The two of them stood obediently on the inclined corridor with their hands behind their backs. Wuhu stared at the blackened water, sighing incessantly.

Shandong turned his head and glanced at her: “What are you sighing for?”

“Shandong Chief, this place was originally used as our logistics department. If this incident hadn’t happened, they would still exist and become our strong backing.”

Wuhu’s words made Shandong slightly stunned. She was silent for a while, thinking of Chi Yuan.

If the 098 scientific research base hadn’t been invaded by the deep sea, then Chiyuan wouldn’t be like this now.

“…Fate is tricking people.” Shandong shook his head bitterly.

Suddenly, several large bubbles appeared on the calm water.

Wuhu immediately became vigilant, while Shandong kept its original appearance and stared at the bubbling water.

After a while, the passage made a long roar, like a beast that had been sleeping for many years opened its eyes, and the lights of the passage slowly shone from the depths of the water.

The water level began to drop, exposing the algae soaked in the bottom.

Shandong stared at the sea water receding. She turned her head and glanced at Wuhu. After looking at each other tacitly, they walked in at the same time.

This long corridor is actually just a long downhill with a normal slope. Looking at the trail left behind after the sea water faded, Wuhu felt a little uncomfortable.

deep sea beltToo many disasters have come.

The two kept silent and walked one after the other. While moving forward, Shandong also rolled up the cable for the Long March 10, groping forward bit by bit.

The water had receded to the gate, and the two of them saw three long paw prints appearing on the gate, so they quickened their pace and ran forward.

“Shandong Chief, this is—”

Wuhu, who came to the door, quickly turned on his mobile computer, and used the camera to prepare for the claw marks on the door.

Shandong watched her push her glasses calmly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Wuhu, she stepped forward gently and carefully observed the claw marks.

This claw mark didn’t change the shape of the door. That is to say, the claw mark only appeared when it was on the door, and it wasn’t the main culprit for destroying the door.

And this door is a sliding door. If you want to open this door, you have to grab the inlaid handle of the door or pull it open.

However, neither the inlaid handle nor the crack of the door suffered trauma, which means that the claw marks have nothing to do with the door being opened.

“Wuhu, are there any other escape doors here?” Shandong asked.

“Yes, the semi-circular top inside is the switchable escape door.” Wuhu explained while pushing open the two doors, and finally pushed them to a size that an adult could barely enter, and two people squeezed in.

The water in the room has not been drained, and the seawater is still at the knee level of Shandong, so it will take a while to see the whole picture here.

Wuhu pointed to the dome above: “This is, at times of danger such as indoor water ingress, drain failure, or deep sea invasion, the dome will drop something similar to an escape pod and open the dome at the same time.”

“The escape pod can accommodate fifteen scientific researchers, and the escape device has been used dozens of times successfully in the past fifty years.” Having said this, Wuhu lowered his hands and showed an uneasy expression.

Because she saw that in the last dangerous situation, the dome didn’t fall down and the escape pod didn’t open.
