Chapter 653
The environment around the underground ice lake in the town is getting colder and colder.
In terms of physical sensation, Ronald estimated that the temperature had dropped to a level serious enough to threaten life.
But fortunately, the people in the team are already active in the polar circle.
As long as the warmth on the body is done adequately, this temperature does not have much impact.
In this environment, although he knew that he was challenging within the original trial, Ronald could not help but start thinking divergently.
——For example.
——How are lakes hidden in underground glaciers formed?
It was not like Ronald had never seen supraglacial lakes formed by melting Antarctic glaciers. But if it is underground and surrounded by solid ice, why does it become like this?
From a theoretical perspective, there are many possibilities.
But without systematic research, it is really difficult to get a correct answer immediately.
While Ronald was lost in thought.
Under the guidance of Erin, their team finally arrived at the location mentioned before.
The actual conditions here are equally amazing!
——The ground next to the glacial lake actually hides a town.
Buildings that were also sealed by ice blocks were scattered here. Due to the distance, Ronald and the others could only see the ice covering the surface of the houses, so they were unable to find out what was going on under the ice blocks.
Look around carefully again.
Through some of the more obvious house designs, Ronald could even vaguely determine the type of urban structure here. Houses such as shops, business premises, and residential buildings were all easy to identify.
Wow -
At this time, Erion used his hands to operate the communicator hanging on his waist.
All the team members wearing headphones immediately heard his voice on the communication system,
"Angel, Delat! You two, come out quickly, the situation is not quite right now!" "
..."
There was silence in the communication. a period of time.
After a few seconds passed, an unfamiliar male voice came from inside.
"Erian? The two of us have broken through the weak spot in the ice and are now in a deeper place. What, is there something wrong at the base?" The
mercenary's response was as concise as ever:
"We are now encountering a problem. There's some trouble, Lez was even dead just now. If you two still want to live, come out quickly!" "
Huh?"
Another voice came from the communication, obviously a little surprised.
Faced with the shock brought by the news of Laiz's death, the person who spoke before continued:
"In the direction of the ice lake, in the east corner of the A7 house, there is an ice cave that we just broke through. If we need to speed up, then I suggest you come over and help, it’s not easy to get up here quickly.”
Aerion replied with a message of agreement, and then led the team to the location designated by the other party.
Planning for house changes here is actually very simple.
Take the A7 mentioned in the communication as an example. The letter A in front is a character based on the distance to the ice lake. The building in the circle closest to the ice lake is numbered A, followed by number B, and third is number C. .
The following numerical order is the order from the entrance to this space. The nearest is 1, and then increases with the edge of distance, the most basic way of sorting numbers.
As for the A1 house that my companion mentioned in the communication.
In fact, it is the seventh building from the entrance direction and the building closest to the underground ice lake.
However, when they arrived, they continued to go deeper.
Yanni's expression was almost completely broken, and all he could see was suppressed anger.
The breached cave they spoke of was actually the damaged foundation of a house. In order to continue deeper, the two guys smashed the foundation of the connecting ice blocks, and then continued to break open before they could move forward.
——This is definitely a very serious act of vandalism.
——It’s not an exaggeration to take him to be sentenced!
Not to mention that on this basis, the two explorers did not use any qualified structure to support them when they went deep below. If an earthquake or a more direct disaster occurs, and the ice here breaks, then these two guys will have absolutely no chance of escaping.
"I'm so angry!"
Yanni finally couldn't help but cursed in the communication.
"Dratt, Angel, have you read the development guidelines manual?" "
If you dislike yourself for living too long, you can absolutely Go to the company and apply for leave!"
The other members of the expedition team were completely unmoved by Yanni's emotional outburst.
However, Grady even comforted him directly with a skillful tone:
"Yanni, after all, this is the result of being far away from the modern city."
"Considering the difficulty of our work now, some helpless compromises are necessary." "...
"
No one answered Grady's words of comfort.
As the person closest to the girl, Ronald could clearly see her body trembling.
This is not trembling caused by the cold environment of underground glaciers!
But simply because of anger!
What he has seen and heard since entering this unique ruins has put Yanni's emotions into a state that is very difficult to control. If she hadn't received basic legal education since childhood, she would have picked up the crossbow and let those who dared to destroy the ruins have a taste of it!
Ivy probably also saw Yanni's current mood.
So before they entered the ice cave, she took the initiative and suggested:
"By the way, you might not know whether those animals will appear just now!" "
So I have a suggestion - let Yanni help let the wind out on top. While we are going down, , you are responsible for observing the environment here. If you find any danger approaching, you might as well notify us directly by radio." "..." "
Okay
."
Yanni expressed his approval with a brief movement, and then found a stone and sat down. got up.
To be honest, she really needs to take a breather now.
Otherwise, if he is stimulated by these stupid operations again, there is no guarantee that Yanni will do anything.
On the other side, Ronald and the others continued downward through this gap.
Steel nails for fixing the ropes had been drilled near the entrance of the cave before. With the help of the pulley equipment, it was now easy to descend - until the environment turned into a folded glacier again.
At this point, helping each other becomes a necessity.
Because of the twisted space structure, it obviously takes a lot of effort for them to quickly overcome obstacles.
At the same time, Erin introduced the situation to the two companions below.
Confirming that Lez's death was not a bad joke, Delat and Angel, who were still below, expressed regret and condolences about the incident.
Crack--
suddenly, another subtle sound came from the earphones.
Ronald raised his eyebrows.
It was a bit like the sound of natural ice cubes breaking, but at the same time there was a sound of something colliding as it moved.
This is the problem with Yanni, who is leaning against the tunnel just above.
Or the underground ruins below...
That was the moment Ronald's thoughts flashed into his mind. The two people in the communicator expressed their situation with painful wails.
"What...what is this?"
"Fuck, help!"
