Steel torrents pioneering a different world.

Chapter 246 Fear and Expectation! A High-Tech Dimensional Cage! (Please Subscribe)

Nine hours after the three-tailed comet streaked across the sky of another world.

Glacier Base, the frontline command center for the human pioneering team.

"Report! All steel sea urchin detectors and small detectors have returned to port, with a recovery rate of 0.6%!"

'

The correspondent's voice sounded tired, but also relieved.

Upon hearing this, Commander Fu's tense body relaxed slightly, but quickly tensed up again.

Six per thousand—this number felt like a needle pricking his heart.

In this operation, humanity deployed a total of one thousand probes towards the direction of the Devil's Sea leading to the restricted area.

The total price of those sophisticated and complex steel sea urchin detectors alone is thirty million.

Thirty million! That's no small sum that you can just pull out anytime.

Including the sonar decoys deployed earlier, the various hunting devices used, the warships dispatched, and the massive consumption of supplies, the total cost of this military operation is approaching 2.5 times the cost of a small target.

"2.5 small goals, huh—" Commander Fu muttered to himself, then added self-deprecatingly, "If this doesn't come with something substantial, we'll be having tons of meetings when we get back!"

He looked up at the window. The raging blizzard in the other world had stopped, and the sky was now a deep gray-black, so dark it seemed to swallow all light.

Inside the command center, the lights were on, but the air was thick with the exhaustion of all the commanders after working continuously for hours.

"Each unit shall take turns on duty and rest in order," Brigade Commander Fu's tired voice rang out.

"clear!"

These are all elites in the military, especially the members of the command center.

There were no extra cheers or complaints; everyone simply followed the habits they had developed during their daily training and began the handover and rest process in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, the night shift personnel, who had already rested and recuperated, returned to their posts with high spirits, their eyes gleaming with a thirst for information about the unknown.

Commander Fu gazed at the deep night outside the window, still feeling a pang of resentment. He spoke again, his voice slightly hoarse: "Xiao Qian, are all the other detectors gone?"

The communications officer's voice came through again, tinged with helplessness: "Report, yes, Commander! Gone! Our Steel Urchin probes were set to return in six hours. The superstorm in the Devil's Sea destroyed all sixty-two probes returning from the restricted area! Countless others were torn to shreds by those creatures while exploring the restricted area. Recovering six in this awful weather is the limit!"

This shouldn't be their equipment attrition rate.

According to the original design, even in harsh environments, a thousand detectors should not have suffered such heavy losses.

However, the creatures within the restricted area are far more aggressive than imagined, and the unpredictable weather of the Devil's Sea is like the fangs of a monster, mercilessly devouring all intruders.

During the journey through the deep sea and into that forbidden zone of ancient civilization, the rate at which the probe was destroyed was alarming.

If it weren't for Professor Huang Shih-kai and his team of scientists who specifically customized and enhanced the submersible for the restricted environment, the final recovery rate would likely have been even more dismal.

"We must detect useful information!" Commander Fu murmured to himself again. This was no longer a prayer, but an almost obsessive expectation.

He then carefully checked the situation of the Devil's Sea and the surrounding magical fluctuations. After receiving the reply that "no danger has been found for the time being," he dragged his tired body to eat and then prepared to rest briefly on the small bed next door.

At this moment, those tattered steel detectors have been carefully transported back to the rear.

There, more precise and detailed data processing is underway.

The ecology of sea monsters and leeches, those bizarre monsters resembling deep-sea creatures, the chaotic battle between the three races, the incredibly strange and massive structures capable of unleashing energy attacks, and more clues about what lies buried deep within the forbidden ocean—

All the mysteries will be gradually unveiled as the data carried in these wrecks are revealed.

Humanity's understanding of forbidden zones in other worlds may be about to undergo a revolutionary leap.

The prison for elves and dwarves, the prisoner rest hall.

Gong Pengfei ate his Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles with a duck leg, watching the two groups of prisoners who were watching some funny videos.

The dwarf captives, wearing electric collars, sat in groups of three or five. Some of them laughed so hard they clutched their stomachs, their voices so loud they almost shook the entire hall.

The elves, on the other hand, were relatively quiet, either whispering or smiling gracefully with their lips covered. Their smiles carried a detached beauty, as if the human jokes on the screen were completely separate from them.

When these elves looked at the dwarves, they would occasionally reveal expressions of utter disdain.

Some of the dwarves glared back at the elves after seeing their expressions.

Regardless of their manner of expression, both groups of prisoners wore expressions of rare relaxation.

They no longer dared to have any verbal or physical altercations when they were about to rest.

Not worth the candle.

Having been here for so long, being locked in a dark room, getting electrocuted for causing trouble—basically, you'll get punished if you don't behave.

If you want to cause trouble, wait until you've had a good night's sleep the next day.

This also made Gong Pengfei feel a little more relaxed.

Until the landline phone suddenly rang.

Gong Pengfei picked it up and saw that it belonged to Su Mingjin.

"Good evening, Mr. Su!" Gong Pengfei's voice carried just the right amount of respect.

"Hmm, Little Gong, have the two tribes been fighting these past few days?"

Su Mingjin's voice came through the receiver, carrying her usual calmness.

"No, it's been quite peaceful today," Gong Pengfei replied, his gaze sweeping across the hall.

The elves and dwarves have different personalities and ways of dealing with people.

The elves who are not bathed in the embrace of the Mother Goddess and the Sacred Tree have more distinct individual personalities: some are gentle, some are explosive, and some are mild-mannered and love art.

In contrast, the dwarf prisoners were generally more irritable, often speaking loudly and laughing.

This is why conflicts often arose when the two tribes jointly cultivated crops in the prisoner's farming room.

The two groups started fighting the day after they were imprisoned.

At first, humans thought it was racial hatred, but they soon discovered that it was just their daily "friendly" interaction.

The personalities of the two races are just like those of cats and dogs kept by humans.

It's common knowledge that raising two cats or two dogs is not as good as raising both cats and dogs. This is because it allows them to release their pent-up energy.

It was also because the two groups of captives had completely different personalities that, while being imprisoned and forced to work, they even revealed each other's past, allowing the humans acting as the arbitration team to learn more about the gossip of the two groups.

"Oh, no important news lately?"

"Uh, Mr. Su, it's all just gossip!" Gong Pengfei shifted to a more comfortable position and lowered his voice. "The two clans fought on the first day, and we put them in solitary confinement. But they haven't stopped talking since, and they've started digging up dirt on each other. We've gathered a lot of intelligence these past few days, but it's mostly just social analysis. There's no strategic good news yet."

Su Mingjin on the other end of the phone gestured for him to continue.

"Take the dwarves for example. They always brag about how trustworthy their Mithril Clan is, but the elves have exposed them, saying that when they do business with many races from other worlds, they love to sell inferior goods as superior ones, and cheating and swindling are commonplace for them."

"However, the dwarves are no pushovers. The elves say they specifically buy human slaves, not to work, but to cut off their heads as sacrifices to their ancestors."

"Chopping off human heads? Priest ancestors? Heh—it seems we have another reason for war."

Is there anything else?

Gong Pengfei paused, carefully choosing his words before saying, "Yes, that's gossip. I only learned yesterday, when the two races were arguing, that some lower-ranking dwarves don't have the right to reproduce! There's a very serious class problem within the dwarf race—by the way, some dwarves have relationships with their Gru beasts that go beyond friendship."

Upon hearing about the lack of reproductive rights and the issue of penis, Su Mingjin's eyes lit up.

The news was more explosive than the last, and even Su Mingjin, who was used to hearing all sorts of strange stories, was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this just a replica of those Westerners during the Age of Exploration?

He holds the Bible in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other; he speaks of righteousness and benevolence, but behind the scenes, he's all about business.

"What about the elves?" Su Mingjin suppressed her gossip and continued to gather useful information. "It can't all be the dwarves talking, can it?"

"Of course not! I've gathered a lot of useful intelligence these past two days," Gong Pengfei said, his tone tinged with amusement. "The dwarves have completely exposed the elves' true nature. We thought the noble and pure elves were not so clean in private after all."

"Among the elves, the Fire Clan elves, with their fiery tempers and expertise in combat, are most fond of the strong. If we defeat them, we might be able to capture their—hearts! Hmm, the dwarves say the elven rebellion was instigated by the Cloud Clan and the Fire Clan, each blaming the other, which has made the two clans irreconcilable!"

"By the way, the dwarves said that some elves voluntarily went to become—to become pleasure-seeking sex slaves—for humans."

Gong Pengfei's words were somewhat subtle, but the meaning was already quite clear.

"Some elven factions even believe that their mother goddess is an evil god who will lead the entire race toward complete hedonism. For this reason, they have launched several civil wars, almost destroying the already problematic elven kingdom itself."

"

"By the way, Mr. Su, the dwarves also said that there's a brothel run by fallen elves in the human capital—and it's doing quite well."

Even Su Mingjin fell silent for a moment.

Even after the interrogation team exhausted all methods to uncover this intelligence, it was always fragmented.

Even those despicable dwarves knew how to tell stories in stages, informing them little by little, and repeating themselves endlessly.

Who knew that when the two tribes were put together, they would reveal everything in order to win an argument?

Some things are stains they deliberately concealed.

Some things are common sense to them, and they never thought that they needed to tell humans.

Indeed, exchanging information with enemies is the most effective way to understand them!

Gong Pengfei added, "My colleagues and I have been going crazy these past few days. We've been racking our brains to do psychological profiling and all sorts of behavioral analysis, but it's not as effective as having them watch a comedy sketch together and have a fight."

On the other end of the phone, Su Mingjin's voice rang out again, carrying a calmness that seemed to know everything.

"very good."

"The internal rifts of these so-called advanced intelligent races from other worlds are far deeper than we imagined. Rifts are weaknesses, and weaknesses are opportunities."

"Xiao Gong, keep observing and record all their arguments, don't miss a single word."

""

"Every clod of mud they throw at each other could become a cannonball we hurl at their kingdom."

"Yes, Mr. Su!"

Just as Gong Pengfei was about to hang up, Su Mingjin said, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention something important. Professor Deng Dakang said the three-tailed satellite might be a strange omen from the magical world. You should try to find out more about it from the prisoners of both races!"

The three-tailed comet streaked across the sky just as the two races were inside the hall. By the time they had rested for two hours and went outside to work, the trail in the sky had long since disappeared.

The captives from both tribes were unaware of the approaching Three-Tailed Comet.

"OK!"

Gong Pengfei hung up the phone and looked at the two people watching a comedy in front of him. He thought to himself that he should have done it sooner, much sooner.

The two races living together are like a pair of bickering lovers meeting, staging a wonderful soap opera, with humans hearing new juicy tidbits every day.

Their banter has also refreshed humanity's understanding of this alien world.

After the joyful time ended, Gong Pengfei filled his stomach, checked the time, and found that it was already past nine o'clock at night.

"It's time to send them our warmth!"

After speaking, Gong Pengfei looked at Tang Huanzhu, who looked utterly dejected in the distance: "Little Tang, it's time to get to work!"

"Oh, okay!" Tang Huanzhu wasn't in a good mood. This surprised Gong Pengfei.

"What's wrong with you today? You've been listless all day?"

Tang Huanzhu shook her head dejectedly: "It's all because of that CEO Ke! Sigh, I guess I'll have to go back for questioning, and then I won't be able to come here for a long time!"

"I see!" Gong Pengfei said, indicating his understanding.

Cthulhu is the same person Qin Longlong mentioned before. He was discovered in the forbidden underwater area. Because of his unpredictable abilities, everyone must be very careful.

The military has already conducted numerous tests and investigations in the past two days.

For example, the emperors previously investigated are now referred to as "yellow weasel" or "human emperor."

Regarding the newly discovered suspected Cthulhu incident, security agencies have advised everyone not to overthink the image of the creature and to regularly check for mental fluctuations in order to ensure information security.

Of course, Tang Huanzhu is considered one of the better ones.

Her inspiration is low.

As we all know, if this is the Cthulhu universe, then the more highly inspired a person is, the more dangerous they are.

Fortunately, humans have now learned from some dwarves what phenomena similar to "time travel" might be, which has given humans more room for imagination.

The dwarves call it time travel, or the convergence of the heavens.

But the dwarves were unaware of many more clues!

As for the elves...

These individuals who left the Sacred Tree Magic Internet were familiar with the term "Celestial Convergence," but they didn't know much more about it.

Sometimes, some biologists really want to cut open more elves' heads to see how they store so many memories.

These elves are very similar to humans, so why are they so good at keeping their knowledge secret?

If humanity also masters these technologies, there will be no need to worry about technology leaks in the future.

Of course, some biologists, especially those in the field of neuroscience, believe that some of the important knowledge and memories of elves are not lost, but rather sealed away.

It can only be activated through the Sacred Tree Network, allowing the spirits to move freely.

Unfortunately, humans know very little about the sacred tree of the elves. So far, they only know that it is used for the conduction of magical energy, and that it is ground into powder to make special paper equipment, which is used to give some special equipment basic abilities such as activators.

The deeper aspects require more time to explore!

After the announcement in the prisoner lounge, the prisoners' evening relaxation time officially ended.

The projector lights on the large screen went out; it was 9:30 PM.

"Time to go back!"

With that thought in mind, Anise stood up, ready to leave with her companions.

However, just as they reached the door of what looked like an counseling room, Tang Huanzhu, who was in charge of guarding them, called out to Annies and a group of other elf prisoners in the same cell.

"Gentlemen, we have a few questions for you. Don't worry, they're not from you elves! Is this convenient?" Tang Huanzhu's tone was very calm.

These elves respond better to gentle persuasion than force!

Anis and the other elves exchanged glances, but most chose to remain silent.

Even Annies, who has a very good relationship with humans, is like that.

Do not show any affection for humans in front of others.

Never!

In exchange for better treatment, companions selectively reveal harmless little secrets, which is seen as an act of betrayal by the elves.

Of course, some elves, after staying here for a long time, discovered that certain tips could lead to better treatment, and they became quite conflicted.

Moreover, their inherent awkwardness makes it difficult for them to speak up.

The interrogation experts from the pioneering team had already developed a complete set of scripts for dealing with them.

Tang Huanzhu knew that these elves were habitual offenders who had made many mistakes.

She directly pulled up several video clips in the room.

This is the three-tailed comet that streaked across the sky during the day.

In the video, a long comet trails three red and green streaks, as if staining the sky red, speeds away from north to south.

"No wonder there was a magical disturbance," Anise exclaimed upon seeing the image. "Did this happen around noon?"

"Yes," Tang Huanzhu caught the fleeting change in her expression, "You know this?"

Anise fell silent, simply watching the video without saying a word.

"Alright, it seems these are some rather important secrets. Let's ask the dwarves! You all need to get some rest."

Seeing this, Tang Huanzhu stopped asking questions and waved for them to go back.

Just as everyone dispersed, Annies suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Huanzhu.

"We need to add more fruit to our cells," she said, her tone utterly calm.

Tang Huanzhu nodded with a smile.

"Okay! But you need to tell me those things first."

Anise's gaze swept over her departing cellmates, and only after confirming that they were pretending not to be looking at her did she slowly speak: "My people have an ancient legend that whenever the stars dim, magic surges, and the heavens converge, a new world race will descend. They may be angels, demons, or perhaps just fleeting visitors."

Speaking of this, Annie looked at Tang Huanzhu: "Of course, it could also be you guys!"

Seeing Tang Huanzhu's slightly furrowed brows, she paused before adding, "There's another rather dangerous situation: if the celestial convergence is accompanied by a natural disaster—that would be a major test for the Sacred Star."

Tang Huanzhu was startled. She had heard the phrase "the convergence of the heavens" before; it was occasionally mentioned by the dwarves.

But Annies's tone at this moment clearly indicated that she knew more.

"You know this? Could you tell me more about it?"

Annie shook her head, seemingly trying to recall something.

"As I've already mentioned, the celestial convergence is nothing special. It's just—after leaving the Sacred Tree Network, my remaining memories tell me that this three-tailed comet is strange. They've never appeared before—it seems."

Annis looked up at Tang Huanzhu and said, "I'm sorry, that's all I can remember."

Tang Huanzhu looked at Annies, whose expression was calm, but beneath that calmness seemed to lie more information.

She guessed that the elf might still be keeping something, but the clues she had now were enough for her to go back and report.

"Thank you for the information. I will report the matter of changing the fruit to my superiors," Tang Huanzhu said finally, watching Annie and the others turn and leave.

After Annies left, Gong Pengfei also obtained useful clues from interrogating Attila and the other dwarf prisoners.

The two races had a conflict, and after the humans separated to inquire, they received similar information from both sides about a celestial convergence that occurred every few hundred years.

"Could we be an alien race from the celestial realm?"

Gong Pengfei couldn't guess what it was for the time being; he only knew that the news was very important, so he immediately reported it to Su Mingjin and the others that very night.

It was already late at night, but Su Mingjin and the others did not rest.

During the day, we conducted a major exploration of the forbidden zone containing the ruins of an ancient civilization near the Devil's Sea, and a lot of useful information has been compiled and summarized.

The leaders of the land reclamation team need to carefully verify and analyze the situation.

It was already 11 p.m. before we knew it, and the air in the conference room was very stuffy.

Su Mingjin, Brigade Commander Man, and others were replaying the last footage brought back by the steel sea urchin for the third time.

In the video, the dark underwater world is in complete chaos.

A bizarre octopus-crab, as large as an armored vehicle, waving its tentacles, is being relentlessly attacked by a group of humanoid creatures marked as Deep Ones and Snake People.

A classic three-way battle reveals the chilling ecology of this forbidden ocean.

All this chaos didn't even cause a ripple after it encountered the huge rock that plunged into the sea.

When the battle between the three races disrupted the domain of the strange stone pillar, a sudden change occurred.

hum!

A flash of light appeared on the surface of the stone pillar, and an invisible ripple spread out instantly.

Whether it's a ferocious, bizarre crab, a mysterious deep-sea diver, or a small school of fish, in the instant the ripples sweep across, they all turn into the most insignificant dust, dissolving into the seawater.

Besides these, there are also strange, large, rhomboid gems detected by the probes on the sea surface —

"While I don't believe in these things, they do clear out the mobs much more effectively than our laser weapons."

Commander Man clicked his tongue, a very solemn expression on the face of the military commander of the reclamation team.

"President Su, this is definitely not a historical site; it looks more like a high-tech prison."

Professor Huang Shikai pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the projected light, his eyes a mixture of a scientist's fervor and awe in the face of the unknown.

"Although our detector has many observation modes, we are unable to analyze this energy reaction for the time being. The attack methods that emerged earlier do not belong to any energy form that we know of."

"These strange pillars standing tall in the ruins of an ancient civilization, along with the rhomboid gems on them, are definitely products that are beyond our current understanding."

"So," Su Mingjin rubbed her throbbing temples, her voice filled with deep exhaustion, "we went through tremendous trouble, blowing up thousands of detectors, just to prove that this sea is a high-tech prison?"

She paused, then asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Professor Huang, it's not really those unspeakable creatures from our novels inside, is it?"

Huang Shikai, unusually, did not answer directly, but pondered for a moment: "President Su, before new data is available, any speculation could become reality. We need to redesign the detector, at least to withstand the aftershocks of that energy dissipation just now."

"Money and equipment, whatever you ask for!" Su Mingjin declared decisively. "Professor Huang, I have only one request—try to figure out whether this cage is safe or not! So that it doesn't suddenly explode!"

"good!"

The meeting ended, and everyone left, exhausted.

Just as Su Mingjin was about to lie down fully clothed, her communication device suddenly rang, quickly displaying the latest intelligence sent by Gong Pengfei.

She glanced at the time and realized it was already past eleven. She sighed, then opened the file. The bold, eye-catching words instantly dispelled all her sleepiness.

"Stars fall, the heavens converge."

Su Mingjin's pupils contracted slightly.

The report details nearly identical ancient legends obtained from elf and dwarf captives.

Every few centuries, when the celestial trajectories become unusual, the sky will intersect with an unknown world, and a new race will descend.

Angels, demons, or — just passersby in this world.

"Did we also arrive through the convergence of the celestial spheres?"

In an instant, countless clues connected in Su Mingjin's mind.

Those incredibly powerful, gigantic octopuses and crabs, the ancient giant rocks—deep-diving marine creatures—and this world before me, a place where magic and mythology coexist—

She felt her mouth was dry and picked up the cup to take a big gulp of water.

That's it!

So that's how it is!

The pioneering team always thought they had just logged into an ordinary magical otherworld. But it turns out that this place is actually a spacetime hub that connects all the worlds!

Or rather, the "umbilical cord" of a universe!

All the previous irrationalities and contradictions have been perfectly explained in the face of the once-in-hundreds-years super celestial conjunction.

Having figured this out, Su Mingjin not only didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but instead broke out in a cold sweat.

Previously, they regarded this place as a "second world within easy reach" for the University of Tokyo.

The risk level of this plan now needs to be reassessed.

This is no longer as simple as cultivating a vegetable garden in your neighbor's backyard; it's practically setting up camp next to a cosmic highway where you never know what kind of car might drive out the next second!

They're trying to compete with some interstellar civilizations with a technology they haven't even figured out yet, like nuclear fusion.

Isn't this like an 88-year-old man drinking poison, simply wanting to die?

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the window.

According to Annie, the elf, the appearance of the three-tailed comet is a sign of the celestial convergence.

So————

The comet has arrived and is about to make contact.

What will come from another world this time?

Could it be that modern humans also came from the convergence of the heavens?

But how do we explain those time portals and those guys' deliberate actions?

This is a problem!

If only this were just another world.

If you're not happy, then fight. Rabbits don't get such a large piece of land by kneeling and begging for mercy.

But if this world holds extremely complex and dangerous secrets, then rules of conduct and such need to be handled with care.

Logically speaking, given how important the convergence of the heavens is, some civilizations might have been wiped out.

But the elves, dwarves, and humans of this world are all alive and well.

Therefore, these races must have some skills.

It's as if humanity has mastered the weapon of truth.

Other races in this world may also possess extraordinary magical weapons of truth!

Su Mingjin organized everything and then, along with the latest news, sent it to the rear area in the modern world.

Li Weiguo and his team need to know the important clues they've just uncovered!

In the modern world, in Shanghai, there are rows of bedrooms.

Lin Li ended his high-dimensional perspective, looked at the familiar surroundings, and immediately cursed!

"Hold!"

He kept thinking about the gray-black fog and the seawater, as well as the strange sights he had witnessed.

"The probes deployed by the pioneering team have almost all been destroyed; that probe probably won't last much longer either!"

He held his forehead, sensing the coordinates he had anchored in his mind.

The points of light he had anchored to all went out; those were the probes he had attached to, which had sunk to the seabed and lost their value for continued observation.

Now only a few of the distinctive sea-level probes remain. The powerless steel sea urchin probes continue to drift with the current, becoming his last anchor point for observing that restricted area.

"Unless the pioneering team invests heavily again and sends another large batch of equipment in, we won't be able to see any information about the restricted area for the time being."

Lin Li rubbed his throbbing temples, picked up the iced cola on the table, and took a big gulp. The icy liquid slid down his throat, finally dispelling some of his mental fatigue.

Subsequently, Lin Li used his high-dimensional perspective to begin examining the clues recently compiled by the pioneering team.

Coincidentally, he discovered the documents that Su Mingjin and the others had compiled—"Stars fall, the heavens converge."

Lin Li was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized.

"I see!"

Seeing the speculation above that the human pioneering team might also have come from the celestial convergence, he curled his lip and muttered to himself, "This time-space portal is a treasure left to me by my parents; it's not the same as the interdimensional bus that only runs once every few hundred years in another world!"

"I need to find an opportunity to make them understand this. If a beautiful misunderstanding arises and they treat me like some alien, giving me special attention, how can I enjoy life?"

Lin Li's relationship with Dongda University is currently quite delicate, a kind of tacit understanding of not interfering with each other.

He provides exclusive intelligence in exchange for absolute freedom in the modern world.

But to be honest, after enjoying a few months of a carefree life of eating, sleeping, and playing, he discovered that this kind of life—

—It seems like it's just that simple.

It's far less exciting than watching a pioneering team burn through money, explore the world, and then turn it into a story from a distance.

Lin Li closed his eyes, forcibly mobilized his mind, and began to review everything he had "personally" experienced from a high-dimensional perspective.

"There's definitely something wrong with that area of ​​the sea. My perspective followed those probes for dozens of kilometers, but it felt like I was just spinning in place."

"My sense of space is completely lost. If I project a clone over there, will I get completely lost? Also, is that space folded?"

"Or is it actually a pocket universe wrapped in normal space?"

"But what kind of bizarre pocket universe is this? It's practically a living thing!"

Lin Li felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, so he decided to stop guessing.

He turned on his computer and typed rapidly on the keyboard, writing down all the details he had observed over the past few hours that the detectors couldn't record, in the form of "script inspiration."

For example, that kind of energy attack seems to be drawing energy from underground.

For example, the arrangement of those stone pillars seems to be in a very regular order.

After finishing writing, he encrypted and packaged the file, preparing to send it to his scriptwriting assistant.

Lin Li believed that this information would soon reach Su Mingjin and the group of experts.

Let them worry about the rest.

After sending the message, a strong sense of resentment suddenly welled up in his heart.

Are we just going to leave it at that?

The pioneering team put in so much effort, but they didn't even get any more information and suffered such a huge loss.

Are you willing to accept this?

As if guided by some strange force, Lin Li once again sank his consciousness into the portal, using one of the last few "steel sea urchins" to project a god-like perspective onto the gray-black sea of ​​mist.

This unfortunate detector had been soaking in the strange fog for over ten hours. Its outer shell, made of anti-corrosion paint and plastic, and its inner special alloy shell were covered with mottled corrosion marks. It looked like a seriously ill sea urchin, about to give up.

Lin Li's perspective shifted back and forth between the few remaining probes. Just as he was about to give up, one of the high-latitude perspectives caught a glimpse of something unusual.

At the edge of the thick fog, he saw the undulating outline once again.

Those were definitely not the well-formed ancient stone pillars I had seen before. Nor were they the extremely tall and massive mountain ridges I had seen before!

The distant outline of the gray fog meandered and twisted, possessing an irregular and rugged beauty.

Lin Li held his breath instantly.

That looks—why does it look so much like a coastline?

Lin Li was excited.
