After entering this industry, my deepest feeling is that the unknown is always the most terrifying!
Because we know nothing, we will be afraid and fearful!
Sometimes, tearing off the mysterious veil will make things much better. Of course, some evil ghosts and zombies with overly hideous faces are not included. Those with overly hideous faces will only make people more scared after seeing them, but they will not scare people to death!
People will not be scared to death by external things. Only they can scare people to death.
Unknown things often make people scare themselves to death, because humans will always subconsciously imagine unknown things to be very scary. This is instinct.
The situation we are in now is already very bad. We must figure out what the thing that is spying on us is. So after I drew my sword, I chased after it without any hesitation. The speed of running is not slow. In a blink of an eye, I rushed out of the tunnel.
Outside the tunnel is an underground world, with soil layers above and below, about ten meters high. It is clearly opened up from the seabed soil layer, because the soil layer above is very moist, which is obviously infiltrated by seawater.
It can withstand the pressure of seawater and has not collapsed...
It seems that we have entered at least one thousand meters below the seabed soil layer! !
In this underground world, there are some dilapidated ruins everywhere, and the architectural form is different from any country or nation in contemporary human civilization. It is very likely that this was the city of Atlantis, buried in the mud and sand on the seabed, but I don't know who dug it out, and finally formed such a sandwich world!
It's dark here, without light.
I swept back and forth with a flashlight, and finally caught the thing that was peeping at us. When I saw the whole picture of the thing clearly, I was a little dumbfounded.
Mermaid?
Yes, it seems to be a mermaid!
Its lower body is a fish tail, and its upper body is humanoid. Its overall height is about 1.5 meters. It has black scales all over its body. I guess the flashlight was shining on those scales just now, so there is reflection.
And this thing is obviously intelligent, because it actually holds a short spear in its hand, which seems to be made of bone, which means that this thing can make basic things. Isn't this something that only intelligent creatures can do?
Although its lower body is a fish tail, it moves very quickly in this underground world. The fish tail hits the ground and can jump far away with a "whoosh"!
This monster must be caught!
This is the only thought in my mind. I was ready to chase it up, but I didn't expect that the monster suddenly turned its head and threw the bone spear in its hand towards me at a distance of hundreds of meters!
Its arm strength was quite amazing. When the bone spear was thrown out, it made a very amazing sound of breaking through the air. With a "swoosh", the bone spear actually flew straight over a distance of hundreds of meters and stabbed me accurately. But I was so scared that I rolled on the ground and finally dodged it.
At this time, the monster had turned around and started running again. It jumped onto an ancient ruin and seemed to be going to drill into it. As a result, at this moment, a gunshot sounded in the underground world without any warning, and the monster fell from the ruins.
I turned my head and saw that Rosa had chased out at some point. She was holding a Browning pistol with smoking muzzle in her hand. It was obvious that she had shot and killed the monster just now.
"It's a living thing."
Rosa said lightly, and then waved to me: "Let's go and take a look at this rare thing."
In fact, she didn't need to say it. I was curious too, so I quickly got up from the ground and followed.
It looked like Rosa had really shot that thing to death. When we passed by, it was lying straight on the ground, with blood all over the ground. I touched the blood and it was cold, which means that this monster should be a cold-blooded animal.
In fact, it is no wonder. The temperature in the underwater world is actually very low. It is difficult for creatures with warm blood to survive in this place. Since this monster is a creature living on the seabed, it is quite normal for it to be a cold-blooded creature like a snake.
Rosa turned her head and looked at me, and asked me: "Can you see anything?"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Do you really think that our Ge family is an encyclopedia? Knowing everything about astronomy and geography?"
"You don't know, but I remembered something!"
Rosa said lightly: "This thing is very likely the legendary descendant of Atlantis!"
"Descendant? Tell me about it!"
The fat man became interested at the time, and said happily: "Didn't Atlantis sink to the bottom of the sea at that time? How could there be descendants left? This is the bottom of the sea. People who come down will either be drowned or crushed to death by the water pressure!"
"You don't know this. Humans are the most adaptable creatures in the world. We are good at evolving to cater to the world and survive! Just think about our race. Isn't it the change of skin color to adapt to the environment? Change means success, and not change means death. It is because we are changeable and good at evolving that we have not been eliminated! "
Rosa sighed softly and said, "I said that this is very likely to be the Atlanteans. It is not groundless. I don't know if you know about something that happened before! This incident probably happened in the 1960s. In 1962, a probe ship carrying scientists and military experts captured a child who could speak off the coast of Cuba. The child had scaly skin, gills, a human head, and a fish tail. , exactly the same as the legendary mermaid! When he spoke, he spoke in ancient Greek. Experts deciphered his language for a long time before they finally knew what he was saying - he said he came from Atlantis. In the Athenian era, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, but because of the protection of the holy objects, the Atlanteans did not die out, and they survived on the bottom of the sea, and then... In order to adapt to the environment and survive, they evolved into a creature that was neither human nor fish, which is what we often call mermaids, with a lifespan of more than 300 years!
Unfortunately, this incident was directly banned shortly after it was reported, and the Soviet government deliberately guided the direction of public opinion to make people I thought this was just a rumor, and the mermaid boy was just a fantasy.
As for where the mermaid boy went, it is unknown. I guess he was sent to a base for research, or was interrogated about the specific address of Atlantis. These are top secrets, and we can't find out. But I guess the mermaid boy definitely didn't tell the specific address, otherwise Atlantis would have been excavated long ago, and their energy sources in the legend would have been plundered!"
Rosa's words were very detailed, and we were a little confused. I looked at the beast-like monster lying under our feet, and I couldn't connect this thing with the Atlanteans who created the prehistoric super civilization.
As for the ancient Greek spoken by the Atlanteans, this language has been lost for a long time. Now Greek has 24 roots, while ancient Greek has 26 roots. The remaining two roots were lost during the language change in the late Homeric era, so it is difficult to decipher ancient Greek, but I do understand some of it, because we have an ancient book from the Ming Dynasty at home. This solitary book was left by a missionary who came to China in the Ming Dynasty. The content is very complicated, and there are some records about ancient Greek in it!
Ancient Greek, which has its roots in English, is an Indo-European language, and is not difficult to learn. I took a rough look at it at the time, and later I couldn't help but ponder it. Don't say, I really know some superficial ancient Greek!
Since there are Atlanteans who can speak ancient Greek in this place, I am thinking whether I should find an Atlantean descendant to have a good chat and see if I can get any useful information!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the "mermaid" again, feeling a little sorry. But when I looked at it, I suddenly found that the mermaid's eyelids moved. At that time, a bad feeling rose in my heart, and I shouted quickly: "Get out of the way, it's playing dead!"
