Chapter 2325: Underwater Strangeness


    In the command center, the military leader and the players were discussing where to re-enter the ruins around the projection. When they heard the door open, the conversation stopped abruptly. The relationship between the military and the Special Defense Department was much easier than before, but the responsible person The main people here are the military, so when Jiang Qiao brought Xu Huo in, everyone in the room temporarily stopped working.


    "Do your business." Shangguan Jing, who had had conflicts with Xu Huo, was the person in charge of the military in this incident. When he saw Xu Huo again, he showed no grudge on his face. After letting his men continue working, he greeted Xu Huo. Go sit in the next room.


    ? Xu Huo followed Jiang Qiao and walked in together. Shangguan Jing had obviously gotten angry with the higher-ups, so he opened the detailed information compiled by the military without saying much.


    "We have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to explore under the Zangxian Lake, but so far we have not gained anything more." Shangguan Jing said: "Many of our people have disappeared into the folding space and there has been no response so far. If it is convenient, I I’d like to arrange for a few people to join you in the water.”


    Xu Huo was noncommittal and carefully observed the data first.


    The first is the first version of information.


    When the energy fluctuations first occurred in Zangxian Lake, there were large-scale ancient civilization relics in the rock layer under the lake. The entire area was not small. It took the military three full months just to measure and explore. The ruins not only include palaces symbolizing royal power, but also altars and special sacrificial venues dedicated to the gods of ancient civilizations. In addition, there are also tombs specially built for members of the royal family. In addition to the tombs, the military has also Checked upon entry.


    “Why don’t you go in to the tombs?” Xu Huo asked.


    "The tombs are home to a group of aquatic creatures." Shangguan Jing opened a new document and threw some video data into the center of the room. "These are evolved fish. They are highly aggressive and will release A kind of interference sound wave that can interfere with or even destroy our equipment. With its fast speed and strong attack power, it is not easy to get in. In addition, they have also evolved a certain degree of resistance to toxicity. Ordinary poisons have no effect, so it doesn’t take much effort. If you try to poison them all, it may spread to the entire lake, making it unsafe for players who go down.”


    “They only stay in the tombs?” Xu Huo asked again, “Are there similar evolved species in the folded space?”


    "There is no one on the first floor." Shangguan Jing flipped the file and sped up the playback speed. "Currently, our people have only entered the first floor. Even those who came out alive don''t know what happened inside."


    Xu Huo saw the information about the wounded at the back, "Missing limbs? It doesn''t look like he was attacked by a wild beast."


    "It was indeed not an attack by a wild beast," Shangguan Jing said: "All the injured people did not know exactly what happened. They did not feel much pain. They just lost their limbs in an instant. There were traces of petrification in the wounds, and they did not even bleed."


    "Petrified?" Xu Huo was slightly surprised, "This is not like a normal copy attack."


    The dungeons he has entered so far tend to be more realistic. There are very few dungeons like the one that Yuan Yao entered that could absorb human fat, and the dungeons that turned stones into living creatures like Yan Jiayu Da Mao. The only ones that are slightly unusual are those from the Hundred People Art Museum. The Curator and the mutated plants in the copy of the Goddess have human thoughts. Generally speaking, they are still at the upper limit of his understanding. They can petrify the human body in a very short period of time. This has completely broken away from reality and entered the category of myth.


    "In the myths of many civilizations, there are legends about turning people into stone. The most famous one is probably Medusa. We have considered the possibility that evolution will lead to the birth of mythical characters, but the situation is not like it." Shangguan Jing Dao: "The opinion of the expert team is that they would rather believe that they passed through the folded space for an instant and tens of thousands of years, than it is impossible for the myth to be truly resurrected."


    After all, time evolution in the game is not an absolute secret. The top government officials in District 014 must first target these absolutely rare resources and will not stop working on them. The power of time can quickly turn a person into dust, and the folding space may contain A space ten thousand years ago is not impossible.


    Xu Huo was surprised by his frankness, "Can we continue to investigate in this situation?" ? ? ? ? "If you don''t understand the things in your home, if someone else gets their hands on them in the future and turns against us, then you will really regret it. Shangguan Jing''s expression darkened, "For the future, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it."


    After saying that, he stood up, said "Excuse me" and walked out of the room.


    The work outside resumed. Jiang Qiao closed the door and turned back to Xu Huo: "Take a good look at these materials, but I don''t know how helpful they can be."


    The more Xu Huo looked back, the more frightened he became.


    Since the multi-layer space appeared under Zangxian Lake, there have been constant energy fluctuations. The military classified them according to the characteristics of these fluctuations, with a total of nineteen types.


    In other words, the folded space may not be fixed, but at least nineteen different spaces have appeared. As for whether they have always been maintained or whether they flash regularly, it is not clear yet, because its internal space covers the space. It is no longer possible to detect accurate information outside the ruins, all of which were obtained at the expense of human lives.


    ??The conditions of those who are missing are unknown, but most of the players who came out with injuries were physically mutilated. Some people were unlucky and were only half alive when they were forcibly taken out by their teammates...


    ?The room was very quiet. Jiang Qiao stared at the information and remained silent.


    “All the people who were killed and injured so far were attacked by the same force?” Xu Huo asked again after a moment.


    "Except for the tombs, this is the case in the folding space." Jiang Qiao replied: "After the folding space appeared, there were new changes in the tombs. All the water creatures before were lurking, as if a new evolution was born. Species, the players explored the entrance and detected strong life energy. The things inside did not come out. To avoid unnecessary complications, we did not force the entrance. "


    “So it may be caused by folding space?” Xu Huo said.


    "I can''t tell." Jiang Qiao opened a document at hand and put it in front of him. "Our instruments can still detect the appearance of the folded space, but we have no idea when the things in the tombs appeared. It was only when the other mutated fish suddenly changed their trajectory that they realized something was wrong.”


    “Which of the mutated species in China are more lethal at present?” Xu Huo asked instead.


    "Mainly marine creatures. The evolution of the originally huge and powerful animals in the deep sea is the most obvious. On land, there are mainly ferocious beasts. Generally, there has been obvious evolution in physical strength, speed, and skin. For the time being, there has not been a large-scale appearance of such animals. The extent of genetic mutation into new species like other partitions."


    “The only ones that have changed a lot are snakes.”
