Endless route

Chapter 232 2. Rebirth Waves

The three-thousand-meter-deep sea was dark and lightless. The water that had been disturbed by the drastic changes that night gradually became clearer. The debris and debris slowly fell to the bottom of the sea. The underground sea returned to calm like a pool of stagnant water.

Buzz buzz.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

The small unmanned detection submarine emerged from the corner, its small propeller was working hard, and its slight buzzing sound echoed through the dead seabed, like an ignorant little fish wandering in the strange sea.

Although the small submarine swims slowly, its eyes are very bright. The searchlight can illuminate the entire hundred meters in front. It looks here and there, curiously looking at the strange world.

The deep sea is as black and blue as the abyss.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

A vicissitudes of ancient city lies quietly in front of the camera, completely submerged by the dark sea water, covered with a layer of strange green in the searchlight, suspended in the deep sea, and no one has broken into it for hundreds of years.

The city lock chain on the left is broken.

The ancient city is tilted at an angle of thirty degrees.

The small submarine swam forward against the city wall. The six sides of this floating city were made of smooth blue bricks. It was looking for the gate of the floating city.

Maybe it has no way at all? The pressure of deep water is so high. If there is a door, what kind of door would it be?

There is other data.

The walls of this strange floating city are about eight meters high, 800 meters wide, and over 1,200 meters long. It covers an area of ​​less than one square kilometer. It was considered a very small city in the Ming Dynasty.

But it's at the bottom of the deep ocean.

It's astonishing at this scale.

Click.

A muffled sound sounded from inside the floating city.

It seemed like something was breaking, or something was moving, and it was accurately captured by the radio device of the small submarine.

…

at the same time.

By the campfire in front of the island camp.

Several large screens were showing real-time footage of the detection of the floating city. Zheng Yun and Ji Dao were sitting at the door chatting, and Kedester, who was controlling the submarine, would interject a few words from time to time.

The headphones have long been thrown away.

No one carries that thing at all.

For several days and hundreds of hours, there was no movement at the bottom of the deep sea. Wearing that thing was a waste of time.

"Master Immortal, when you came back in the morning, did you see the crops around you? What are you growing here?"

Ji Dao asked while grilling a piece of meat.

"Why do you ask?"

Zheng Yun took a bottle of water from Li Xiya's hand, and just when he asked Ji Dao, he heard a faint voice from beside him: "Why are you asking this?"

He turned his head and looked to the side.

Olivia moved a small bench and sat next to her camping lounge chair. She held a real-time translator in her hand, translated what she said word for word, and then whispered silently:

"Ni Wen, what are you doing?"

"..."

Zheng Yun felt a bit outrageous. She learned Chinese in dangerous places, and she even used herself as a teaching material.

"It's already October in a flash. Time flies so fast. The grains in Tiangong are all ripe, but this year is different from previous years. I am no longer the only one harvesting grains."

Ji Dao sighed with deep regret.

"..." Zheng Yun was speechless again. It turned out that Ji Dao was thinking about harvesting millet. This boy was not very young, with fair and tender skin, but his words sounded like an old farmer.

"We still have to watch it on the island for a few days. During this time, we can harvest it. Whether you have planted corn or not, you haven't harvested corn for a long time."

Zheng Yun opened the water bottle and took a sip.

He has always been cautious and steady in doing things.

Even if the overall situation of the island is decided, they will stay for a while longer, just like last time in the extreme cold mountains, a few days or a week later, they will go into the water to take a final look.

Jiasi Aileen has become a Yin soldier, the crisis in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave has been resolved, and there are no urgent matters in the Immortal Supervision Department in the short term. The tasks in the next period of time will be relatively simple.

Go to a museum these days.

If you have time later, you can also go to W-06 to look for Dusi ruins and open a fairy gate.

During this period, prepare an undercover plan and figure out the specific restrictive measures. Then communicate with Garth Irene and Deacon Bird and ask them to go back and be undercovers.

This matter is quite complicated.

Zheng Yun has always been worried about Western witchcraft. Both Jiasi Aileen and Byrd have entered the secret realm. If they return to the organization and are hypnotized and interrogated, they may be self-defeating and exposed.

The best way may be to ask them to write a letter of introduction or invitation and send an amateur to go undercover.

"Master Immortal has ever broken corn?" Jidao looked surprised and continued: "It's a pity that corn cannot be grown in Tiangong. The Tiangong calendar has twenty months in a year, which is just enough for the corn to grow two forks. After harvesting the millet, it will take another month. It’s going to be winter.”

"What does winter look like in the Heavenly Palace?"

Zheng Yun suddenly became interested and asked. As soon as he finished speaking, someone heard from beside him: "...What kind of golden fragrance is missing?"

It was Olivia who was repeating in a low voice again.

While retelling, she secretly glanced at Zheng Yun, and when she looked at Zheng Yun, she showed a lovely smile with clear eyes.

Look at her like this.

She decided to buy this conspicuous bag today.

It has to be said that Western girls are more courageous, and Olipia's family has money, which also makes her more outgoing than her peers.

"Master Immortal, the winter in the Heavenly Palace is comparable to that of a fairyland. The mountains are covered with snow and are so beautiful. When I was on duty at the Heavenly Palace, I wrote some limericks when I had nothing to do in the winter. Master, can you listen to this?"

Ji Dao suddenly became very interested.

The major incident has been solved, and the dangerous place has been controlled. They have nothing to do on the island these two days. Just like the last time they were in the Christmas Islands, they just eat and drink.

"You still have this talent?" Zheng Yun asked in surprise.

"Presenting one's ugliness! The cold snow in the Heavenly Palace welcomes the white gauze, the palace buildings reflect the silver flowers, the biting wind wraps up the silver frost air, and the snow all over the sky turns into ice and jade sand. The Jade Pavilion of Sutras welcomes the dawn, the fairy sea lake towers reflect the stars, and the shadows of flowers play to watch the dance of winter plum blossoms. , the mountains, seas and fairy continents are all boundless!"

Ji Dao cleared his throat and started to read directly.

At first glance, this limerick is just a patchwork of words, with a bit of the scenery of the Heavenly Palace in it, but regardless of the quality, his courage and self-confidence cannot be faulted.

"Well written."

Kedester laughed and cheered.

He is also an old scholar who studies ancient Eastern culture. Let’s not comment on this poem. He has never studied these things, but he knows the ancient Eastern culture of flattery.

"It's good for studying."

Zheng Yun looked to his side with a smile on his face, and happened to look at Olphia, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression as the translator in his hand suddenly became garbled. The latter was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Chief, you..."

Olivia's pretty little face changed its expression quickly, her face drooped with the corners of her mouth downwards, she quickly shook her head and swung her blond ponytail around, showing an expression of knowing she was wrong.

This is so hard to learn.

The translators all crashed.

She even struggled to learn everyday language. How could she possibly learn such a long list of limericks?

"Recite the entire text."

Zheng Yun calmed down his expression and spoke softly. Doesn't Olephia like to learn? She still insists on learning by his side. He hopes that he will pay attention to her, so he will give her a chance to learn well.

Ji Dao's poem is quite suitable.

The little girl should study more and spend less time surfing the Internet. At her age, she should have gone to college, but instead she went on adventures like others and was trapped in the town of La Maine for a year. She probably didn't learn anything.

"……,oh"

Olivia's eyes darkened.

"Haha, it's not that bad."

Ji Dao waved his hands repeatedly. He knew what level he was at. Master Xian was so good at complimenting him that he even recited the entire poem. This was the highest praise for this poem.

"You didn't mention Xianhai Lake in your poem. Does Xianhai Lake freeze in winter?" Zheng Yun looked at Jidao and asked.

"A palm of ice will form along the shore of Xianhai Lake, but it will not form in the distance. Master Xian, although there are no dragon eggs in winter, the Tota Immortal Ao will hibernate, and the number of monsters in the lake will decrease. It is the Thirty-Six Immortals who ascend Good time for the main island.”

Ji Dao suddenly had an idea.

"And there's this."

Only then did Zheng Yun remember that there was a main fairy island in the Celestial Palace, which was related to the magic weapon that controlled the immortal turtle of the imperial tower.

There is a sea of ​​mist outside the Tiangong Immortal Sea Lake, which is probably connected to the east route where the Endless Route is broken. If they take Tota Xian'ao under their command, they can take a boat out of Tiangong to the west.

Zheng Yun has always suspected that the ancient city of Red Mist behind the Immortal Sacrifice Cave is on a continent along the Eastern Sea Route, and that the entire broken Eastern Sea Route is an abandoned place isolated by Haiwei.

If there are only one or two abandoned places.

There is no need for Triton to isolate the entire Eastern Passage. It is more likely that there are many abandoned places outside the Eastern Passage, or there are extremely terrifying abandoned places.

Speculation from Triton's point of view.

Even in the Jiu Shan Continent that Ji Dao had said, there was a disease in the strange mountains that could infect countless people and forced Triton to massacre the city, but it did not force Triton to cut off its shipping routes.

Hongmist Ancient City shouldn't look like it either.

Because although the ancient city of Hongwu is dangerous, it has left an immortal gate deep in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, which means that although it is also extremely dangerous, it is not dangerous enough to be completely isolated.

There is at least one eastern sea route, which can make the sea guards unable to do anything. If the sea route is not cut off, the entire Ming Dynasty and even mankind will be in danger.

The words of Master Ji Dao are still lingering in my ears. The general trend is irreversible. Triton is dead. The world is destined to be fate. I am afraid that it has something to do with this abandoned place.

This matter cannot be dwelled upon.

Thinking too much will keep you up at night.

Just pretend that this doesn't happen. If you have the opportunity and time in the future, you can find a way to put together a boat in Tiangong, use Tiangong as the starting point, and go out to sea to see the surroundings.

I don’t know what’s going to happen on the Eastern Route.

What difference will there be in the scenery along the way?

Click.

The headphones that had been left behind by everyone beeped softly again. In the video, the unmanned submarine was still exploring the deep-sea floating city, heading towards the back of the floating city under the control of Kedester.

"Huh?"

Ji Dao turned his head and looked at the headphones.

He had the best ears and did not miss the motive this time. He stared at the earphones with doubts on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Yun followed his gaze.

The scene on the screen did not change. There was nothing in the dark deep sea. In front of the searchlight beam for detecting submarines, occasionally a few dark and rotten pontoon fragments passed the camera.

"I heard a click."

Nobuyoshi pointed to the headphones on the table.

As he spoke these words, everyone in the venue fell silent at the same time, all looking back at the screen in the tent.

Kedester's expression changed, and he quickly put on the headphones, adjusted the video data, pulled the progress bar back a little, and turned the sound to maximum to listen carefully to the sound.

Click.

Sure enough there is.

Kedester's face became more solemn, and he took off his earphones to let everyone in the venue hear the soft sound.

Click.

Like something breaks.

And it was obviously ringing from inside the floating city. The location should be inside the floating city, and it was a bit far away.

"What is going on? Have you found the door to the floating city? If there is no door to the floating city, what's going on?"

Ji Dao frowned and looked at Kedester.

The result of their detection was that this floating city had no entrance or exit at all. If this was true, then this movement would be very scary. What is in the floating city?

"Keep listening."

Zheng Yun immediately realized that something was wrong, and asked Li Xiya to continue to observe. Then he looked at Kedster and Ji Dao: "Let's go and interrogate Jia Si Aileen again."

"good."

Ji Dao stood up immediately.

After Zheng Yun enlightened Jiasi Irene and others to the Yin soldiers, he asked a few questions on the spot, such as how much Jiasi Irene knew about the floating city and what he found in the underground stone corridor.

He asked very detailed questions at that time.

Garth Erin also answered them all.

But there was no problem in her answer. Just like the result of the previous inquiry, she didn't know what was in the deep-sea floating city. She just explored it after accidentally discovering it.

She couldn't lie.

Because Zheng Yun gave her several instructions, she followed them all, even if there was a cliff in front of her, she kept moving forward.

So her answer is true.

She really didn't know what was in the floating city in the deep sea. After waiting for the answer, Zheng Yun didn't ask anything else, and hurriedly locked up Jia Si Irene and returned to the island.

Because Zheng Yun was worried about something happening on the island at that time.

Looking back now, there may be no problem with the original question, but Zheng Yun ignored a key piece of information.

Although Jiasi Irene is the target of the Supervisory Immortal Division, she may not be the captain of the exploration team that explores the deep-sea floating city this time, and this captain is likely to be someone else.

Such as that Nia.

When I and others were chasing each other before, the other party's major decisions and plans were basically made by Nia.

As far as Zheng Yun could remember, Nia commanded her teammates through the walkie-talkie to throw all the things salvaged from the bottom of the sea into the underground sea.

Later, Nia fought back. After she was almost blown to death, the voices of Jias Eileen and another man sounded in the earphones, saying that they would find a way to rescue Nia.

There is a problem here too.

He chased them all the way and killed several of them one after another, but he never saw Jiasi Aileen coming back to rescue him. There was not even a single figure, and he didn't pay any attention to them.

When it comes to this Nia.

Are they going to save them instead?

From this detail, it can be seen that this Nia is very special, and her status is higher than other members of the expedition team.

There are also several clues.

When Nia was hiding in Good Manor, she could identify the ghost-suppressing director Chang Dao with just one glance in the dim environment.

Tell the truth.

When Zheng Yun was in the Underworld Pavilion, he was in almost the same environment. He also saw the ghost general attacking the black guy first, but he didn't recognize the ghost suppressor at all at that time.

The other thing is the last point.

Niya and Triton had a grudge. Before instructing the Yin soldiers, Zheng Yun asked Kedester to ask for this clue, but Niya was only alive at that time and was very uncooperative with the investigation.

After enlightening the Yin soldiers.

Zheng Yun was concerned about the island. He focused mainly on Jiasi Irene and did not ask Nia. After confirming that she had been enlightened, he asked the deaf woman to imprison her back.

This is indeed an oversight.

That Nia is probably the captain of the expedition team. She has an extremely in-depth understanding of Triton. Even the Ghost Suppression Department knows someone. How could she not be prepared when she comes to the Deep Sea Floating City?
