Chapter 421 Broken iron chain
Yang Xue opened his eyes and saw a dark sky.
Yes, the sky is dark, there is no sun, no stars, no moon, no light source.
But strangely, she was able to see the surrounding scenery.
At this moment, she was lying on a raised rock.
She sat up slowly, rubbing her temples with her hands.
Her head is dizzy and her body is light and light.
She felt as if she had lost her memory.
Her memory is still stuck on the bottom of the sea, not knowing why she appeared here.
The diving suit on her body also disappeared, and now she was wearing the white lab coat that she was doing experiments.
How is this going?
Where is this again?
Yang Xue regained her spirit and began to observe the surrounding environment.
Except for a dark sky, what seemed to be a salt pan under her feet.
As far as I can see, there are large brown stones everywhere, with a layer of white powder deposited on them.
She flipped through her belongings, but unfortunately, she didn’t find anything like a watch or phone.
Not only did she not know where she was, she didn’t even know the time.
There is no way, but one step is counted as one step.
Yang Xue is not a person who sits and waits for death. She sits on the rock and rests for a while, and then chooses a direction to move forward.
It’s better to be exhausted than to sit there and starve to death.
The entire salt field was endless. Yang Xue maintained the same speed. Using pulse timing, she had walked for at least an hour, but there was no obvious change in the surrounding scenery.
Without a reference, she couldn’t judge whether she was walking in a straight line or going in a circle on the spot.
One thing is certain, it is very, very big.
She can be sure now that she can’t get out of this place at all.
However, after so many things, her heart has become very strong, and she will not give up until the last moment.
After walking for too long, the error of her pulse counting has become bigger and bigger, but she still rests every hour or so.
It is conservatively estimated that she has walked dozens of kilometers.
If it were replaced by someone else, it might have collapsed.
But Yang Xue didn’t.
Because she knew that if Zhang Jue were here, he would definitely not be like that.
So she effectively distributes her physical strength and keeps herself above the level.
But the strange thing is that she doesn’t seem to be as tired as she imagined.
She didn’t even feel thirsty. She didn’t know why, but it was always a good thing.
About ten minutes later, she set foot on the road again.
I don’t know how long it took, and finally some changes have taken place in the scenery.
Not far ahead, there seemed to be a few huge stone pillars.
Yang Xue was overjoyed and hurried over.
When they got closer, Yang Xue could see their full picture.
There are seven stone pillars with a diameter of about one meter and a height of about six or seven meters.
They form a circle with a diameter of about ten meters in a specific arrangement.
Seven huge stone pillars were buried deep in the ground, and I don’t know who did it.
The material of the pillar is a bit like marble, with many puzzling reliefs carved on it.
Yang Xue is relatively knowledgeable, but the artistic style of these reliefs is inconsistent with any known modern, historical or prehistoric civilization, and should not have been carved by humans.
She stood in the middle of the seven stone pillars, looking at the patterns on the stone pillars, and suddenly felt dizzy.
At this moment, the rock under my feet made a creaking sound and was cracking.
Then it collapsed inward like a broken eggshell.
Yang Xue didn’t even make a cry, so she fell in.
Below is a larger spherical space.
Yang Xue closed her eyes instinctively, thinking that she would keep falling, but in fact she didn’t.
She was suspended in mid-air and stopped moving.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, and then she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Below her is an extremely **** humanoid monster whose height is unpredictable, presumably at least hundreds of kilometers, Yang Xue can’t see its lower body at all.
Its head has three horns, and its whole body is covered by countless overlapping flaky scales.
There are seven heavy hooks embedded in the back of this humanoid monster, and each hook is connected to the lower end of the seven pillars at the top of the space by a chain.
It is worth noting that among the seven iron chains, six have been disconnected from the stone pillar above, and only one remains, crumbling.
At this moment, Yang Xue was floating directly above his head.
She didn’t know what this humanoid monster was, or where she was, but the six broken iron chains gave her a very bad premonition.
Yang Xue tried to twist her body, only to find that she could move freely in the air.
So she drove to the junction of the seventh chain.
But before she passed, suddenly, a huge clicking sound came from the air.
The seventh iron chain also broke from the humanoid monster.
At this moment, Yang Xue felt a huge pressure coming from all directions, and she could not breathe.
She vomited a mouthful of blood and felt that her body was about to be crushed.
She started to lose track of her thinking, and her vision began to blur.
A second before she lost consciousness, she saw the huge humanoid monster and slowly opened her eyes.
…
The “didi” alarm sounded, and Yang Xue opened her eyes again.
There is still darkness in front of her, wearing a high-pressure diving suit, she has fallen into the deep sea.
The pressure of the sea water is getting bigger and bigger, and it has almost exceeded the threshold value that the diving suit can withstand.
If it were a few seconds later, she might never wake up.
Is the scene just now just a dream she had?
But that dream is too real.
Yang Xue knows that people can’t dream of things that she doesn’t know, but now she has no time to think about them.
The sirens became more and more rapid, and she must hurry up.
However, she just wanted to move, but found that her body was out of control.
After working underwater for a long time, she experienced coma and high pressure, and her body has reached its limit.
Although the consciousness is still clear, the movements have changed. She struggled to move up, but turned around in place.
What’s more terrible is that there seems to be an undercurrent of the sea surging over, taking her body around.
Yang Xue felt sweet in her chest and knew her internal organs had been injured.
The siren of the diving suit was still ringing violently, and there was not much oxygen left.
It seems there is really no way.
Yang Xue finally smiled.
I was about to relax, but suddenly I felt my body float up quickly.
She looked back with difficulty, and saw a silver-white behemoth against her back, pushing her up to the sea level.
It’s Ananda Shesha!
It is saving itself!
Yang Xue suddenly realized.
During the journey just now, she was not dreaming, but an illusion cast by Ananda Shesha.
It wants to use this method to tell her what is going to happen!
Perhaps it used its abilities to get some people into the sea, but also to attract the attention of the Authority.
3000 pushed her all the way up, and soon came near sea level.
The speed gradually slowed down.
If the ascent speed is too fast and the pressure difference is too great, Yang Xue’s body will not be able to bear it.
3000 held her back and kept sending her to a place tens of meters below sea level.
It can already be exposed to sunlight.
Going up further, Ananda Shesha will be injured.
As the pressure decreased, some of the functions of the diving suit had returned to normal, and Yang Xue’s body was also able to move.
She turned around and looked at Ananda Shesha’s huge head.
At this moment, 3000 had opened his eyes, and two huge pupils were staring at her, constantly turning.
Yang Xue seemed to understand its meaning and said softly to it.
“I already know the message you want to convey. Let’s go back and stop it.”
Yang Xue’s voice was not loud and she was wearing protective clothing, but 3000 seemed to have heard her and understood.
It opened its mouth and let out a scream, staring at Yang Xue, turning around a few more times, and finally slowly dived into the deep sea.
Yang Xue looked at its fading shadow and sighed.
The sirens came again, and the oxygen she carried was only enough for ten minutes.
Yang Xue reluctantly dragged her tired body and gradually floated to the surface of the sea.
3000 could feel the position of the warship, so it sent Yang Xue to the neighborhood.
The warship also sensed Ananda Shesha’s abnormal movement, and was approaching here at this time.
Twenty minutes later, Yang Xue was rescued from the splint.
The accompanying military doctor hurriedly gave Yang Xue oxygen and performed a simple check.
Yang Xue’s internal organs had bleeding symptoms, but fortunately it was not serious.
The Chief of Staff of Brockton looked at Yang Xue: “Dr. Yang, you are the first person who sinks to the bottom of the sea and can come back again.”
Yang Xue lay on the stretcher and shook her head slightly: “I’m just lucky. In addition, Colonel Brockton, please send me a boat. I have important information and I want to report back to the headquarters.”
Brockton said: “Your body is no longer suitable for walking around at will.”
Yang Xue gave a light cough, “I can’t worry about that much now.”
After Yang Xue returned to the warship, she first informed Number One of what had happened here via satellite phone.
When I heard about the huge humanoid monster, No.1 was silent for a long time, just saying: “You come back first.”
With the attitude of Number One, Yang Xue was convinced that the Administration must know the truth about that monster.
Yang Xue only did a simple recuperation and hurried back to the headquarters.
Number One summoned her for the first time.
In the office of No. 1, Yang Xue retelled what she had seen and heard in the illusion.
After listening to Number One, he didn’t say much, but made a phone call.
After a while, the 13th opened the door and walked in.
Number One squeezed her eyebrows, seeming to have a headache.
“For specific matters, let the two of you meet.”
In the administration’s high-level management system, responsibilities are different.
Except for the one who knows all the secrets, the other twelve administrators are only responsible for part of each.
And most of what the 13th is responsible for are some mysterious existence.
“I already know what you reported to No.1. Now you may go out again.” No.13 looked at Yang Xue, “How is your health? Can you stand it?”
Yang Xue’s face was a little pale, but she still nodded.
The 13th glanced at her approvingly, took a pen from the table and wrote an address in the notebook, tore it off and handed it to Yang Xue.
“This is the address of Area179. I’ll send you a transfer order in a while. You can check the situation first. I still have some things on hand. I will go over it as soon as I finish processing it.”
In this way, Yang Xue only stayed at the headquarters for two hours before embarking on the journey again.
Only then did she somewhat understand why Zhang Jue likes to be an otaku.
Running around is really tiring.
The bureau has many sites, large and small, with different functions.
For example, site336 under Zhang Jue is the gathering place for all antimemetic projects.
In addition, the administration will also set up separate sites for some important projects.
Area179 is one of them.
When it was established, all the staff in it worked only for one project — 2317.
2317 is actually a door. Anyone who passes through this door will be teleported to another parallel world.
That is a huge salt pan. There are seven pillars in the center of Yantian. Yes, they are the seven pillars that Yang Xue saw.
Seven stone pillars formed a matrix. According to the detection by the Administration, there is a spherical space with a diameter of 100 kilometers below the matrix, and there is a huge humanoid monster inside.
It is an ancient entity, known as the Devourer of the Worlds.
When it was first discovered by the Authority, four of the seven chains were broken and three were intact.
After a period of time, the fifth chain broke, which directly led to a vicious event on the earth.
After the sixth chain broke, it led to more incidents and eventually caused 2 million deaths.
So far, only the last chain remains connected to it.
Anyone who knows 2317 knows that once this last chain is broken, mankind will suffer an unprecedented disaster.
And 3000 predicted to Yang Xue in the illusion that the chain would be broken.
Yang Xueyu arrived at Area 179 that night, and took the 13th order to find the site director, and told him about it.
After listening to Yang Xue’s words, the supervisor smiled, not seemingly anxious.
“Dr. Xue Yang, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Thank you for the information you have brought us, but you may not know it well. We are currently undergoing the 220-Casabasas procedure. The seventh chain has been broken by us. Successfully blocked.”
The 220-Casabasas procedure is a specific sacrificial ritual developed by the Authority. Its main function is to stabilize the shaky seventh chain.
Yang Xue even heard about this project for the first time, so she didn’t know this at all.
Did the bureau really master the method to subdue that monster?
Then why does 3000 still notify the Authority through such means?
Yang Xuezheng thought about it, and opened the door on the 13th and walked into the reception room.
“Director Randall, although I know this is cruel, I am afraid I have to tell you this now.”
The 13th sighed, “You have strictly implemented the 220-Casabasas procedure for many years, but it is actually false. The Administration has no way to prevent that from happening. The reason for doing this is just not to let everyone lose hope. That’s it.”
