Chapter 280 Abyss (1)
After seeing the city in front of you with your own eyes, the elf girl finally understood why Alice didn't want to come alone.
"How is it, you think it's weird, right?"
Alice, who was floating beside the elf girl, curled her lips and complained angrily. When she heard Alice's words, the elf girl nodded with deep understanding. If she thought Alice might be a child who was braver before, then now the elf girl nodded so.
Because this undersea city is indeed very abnormal.
Washington is not a city full of tall buildings, and the submerged part of the sea water naturally only has some low two- or three-story buildings. Because of this, they were not destroyed in the tsunami, but most of them still retain their original appearance... It should have been like this.
But at present, the undersea city presented to the two of them is in a completely different shape.
For some reason, in the eyes of the elf girl, all the buildings here seem to be reflected by some kind of haha mirror. The buildings that were originally rectangular were now extremely twisted, and they looked like they were concave, but when they looked at them again, they seemed to be protruding. Even the right-angled lines looked like the fangs of beasts, which was disgusting.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the twisted underwater city in front of him, the elf girl also looked confused. Alice grinded her teeth and hummed lightly.
"How did I know? I just came to see this ghost place before, but I didn't expect it to be so weird... You also think it's very weird here!"
"Um………"
This time, the elf girl didn't have to agree to it against her will, because as Alice said, the architectural forms in front of her are indeed unusual. If they were broken by a tsunami, then the minimum form should be retained, but the buildings in front of her seemed to be entangled with each other. Moreover, they were obviously geometric buildings, but for some reason, the elf girl always felt that it was like some kind of organ with life... like a tumor growing on human limbs, corrupt, ulcerated and disgusting.
When he thought of going here to find a map, even the elf girl began to resist.
"Okay, let's go."
However, contrary to the elf girl, perhaps because of the company of someone, Alice was much more courageous at this moment. She opened her hands and soon, a hexagonal barrier like an ice crystal quickly spread out, wrapping the two of them. Then Alice reached out and pointed at the elf girl next to her. Soon, she saw a silver-white light emerging out of thin air and tied to her wrist.
"Let's go, remember, if something is wrong, we will run away immediately... By the way, as agreed before..."
As she said that, Alice opened the Internet and sent a message to Chris and Franka. According to the agreement, after they arrived at their destination, Chris and Franka would use a submarine to come here to meet them. But next...
"By the way, where are we going to find a map?"
This is the end of no plan.
"Or else go to the library to look for it?"
"What is the map of the secret base that man wants? Will that kind of thing be placed in the library?"
That's right, if that kind of thing can be found in the library, it would be too cheap.
"So, what about that airport?"
Thinking of this, the elf girl thought for a moment, then pointed to an airport not far away.
"There doesn't look like a civilian airport, but it looks like a military airport. If there is a map, it will usually be there."
"No matter what, I have to go."
Hearing the elf girl's proposal, Alice hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. After all, the airport is still a little distance from the city, which makes her feel not so uncomfortable. If it were in the city, Alice would probably really have to consider it carefully, but now...
"Okay, let's go, go and go back!"
As a military airport, the buildings here are quite solid. I don’t know if it’s luck or other reasons. At least the buildings in the airport have not been washed away. However, over the years, the entire building has been covered with a thick layer of water and grass. From a distance, it even looks a bit like a hairy deep-sea monster.
The two of them quietly came to the gate. Looking at the dark gate in front of them, Alice raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Soon, four or five fireballs that seemed like ghost fire appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the originally dark space. Under the blue firelight, you can clearly see the scene in the hall now - tables and chairs scattered all over the ground, and you can see the thick white bones everywhere. Perhaps because of the relationship in the sea, these white bones were preserved very well, and most of them could even see their appearance when they died. This scene alone is enough to make people shocked, let alone what illuminates all this, Alice's ghost fire...
Well, the atmosphere is getting more and more like a ghost movie.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the elf girl couldn't help but shivered. Not to mention anything else, this scene alone is enough to be creepy.
"Quick, where are we going to find that broken map?"
"It's probably the archives room..."
Thanks to these two people having some modern knowledge before the catastrophe, otherwise if they had changed to Aluka and Kris, they would probably have to conduct a carpet-style search.
“!!”
At this moment, the elf girl suddenly saw a huge shadow flashing outside the window. She subconsciously looked out the window, but there was nothing there except the floating water plants.
Is it my own illusion?
Thinking of this, the elf girl shook her head, followed Alice and continued to walk forward.
Fortunately, for the sake of convenience, the map inside the building was placed on the wall, so that the two of them didn't have to go around stupidly. According to the location indicated on the map, the two soon arrived at the archive room on the third floor - of course, this is a military important place, but those originally used to prevent unrelated personnel from entering the iron fence and security doors, which were corroded by sea water, basically turned into a pile of scrap iron. Even the stainless steel doors were made of stainless steel, in front of people like Alice, a wave of hands...
"Dong!!"
Accompanied by the dull burst of sound, the thick alloy door rolled backwards, bringing up a series of bubbles. Alice waved her hand with satisfaction and then walked into the room. The alarm device here had long failed, and only the lights shone on everything in front of her. Fortunately, this place is a military place, and all the information is sealed in the iron cabinet. In other words, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the information stored here should be intact.
"Okay, let's look for them one by one, it shouldn't be too slow."
After clapping his hands, Alice carefully looked at the number on the cabinet next to her and said to the elf girl beside her with a smile. The elf girl also nodded, and at this moment...
"!"
Suddenly, a low sound came, and when the sound was heard, the movements of both of them stopped. Then, Alice's face suddenly turned pale. She looked carefully at the elf girl beside her, and then asked in a low voice.
"Did you hear that sound?"
“…………………”
Faced with Alice's inquiry, the elf girl nodded. She couldn't hear what it was, but it sounded like the sound of some kind of beast screaming.
And most importantly, this beast seems not far from them...
