Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 268 Weird Space
At this time, the long-haired woman carrying a communication device also spoke solemnly, "Commander He, I just tried to contact Kenwano several times, but the communication has been completely interrupted. We are now unable to make any contact with the outside world."
Although everyone had expected that such a situation might occur, when it actually happened, it still cast a heavy haze on everyone's mind.
Cecily noticed the strange look on Li Ming's face. She came closer gently and asked in a low voice: "Little man, what's wrong with you?"
"My abilities have been suppressed, and the detection range has been significantly shortened." Li Ming replied with a frown.
In fact, from the moment he entered the cave, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with his powers.
But the initial impact was very slight, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, as he went deeper underground, his metal detection abilities began to be increasingly suppressed.
The original detection range was 500 meters, but now, it has been shortened to more than 300 meters.
"Could there be some kind of cracks underground in this cave?" Cecily thought about it and put forward her guess.
Li Ming pondered for a moment before replying: "If it's just a crack, it wouldn't be a big deal to blow up the planet."
The implication is that he has ruled out this answer. The strength of the space barrier is far beyond what weapons in the conventional world can shake.
Since the planet cannot be blown up, there must be other reasons.
"That's true." Cecily nodded, and then she smiled to herself, "The cracks don't scare me from my soul."
As everyone continued to go deeper underground, various instruments began to lose their effectiveness one after another.
Now, even the short-range intercom between them doesn't work properly.
More than an hour passed, and everyone continued to descend in this deep cave, but still could not see the bottom.
Someone tried to drop a stone, but the stone seemed to fall into the endless void without even a trace of echo coming back.
It was not until more than five hours had passed that a faint echo finally came back from the thrown stones.
"We should be almost at the bottom, probably still a few hundred meters away." Someone gasped, with a slight tremor in his voice, revealing his fatigue and nervousness at the moment.
"I know." He Youpeng raised the back of his hand to wipe away the fine sweat on his forehead, cleared his throat slightly, and reminded: "Everyone, be careful."
Although they did not encounter any danger along the way, the fear deep in their hearts did not dissipate.
On the contrary, it was like a beast lurking in the dark. As they continued to go deeper into this unknown underground world, it became more intense and obvious.
Li Ming released his metal control ability again, but his face darkened as his control range was reduced to less than fifty meters.
It was the first time that he had encountered such a situation when his abilities were so severely suppressed.
After continuing to descend for more than 300 meters, everyone found that there was no support point for climbing because there was a larger cave underground.
"Old He, looking at the distance, the bottom of the cave should be less than 100 meters away. Should we just jump down?" A team member with white hair on his temples suggested.
He Youpeng did not answer immediately, but dropped the stone again to test.
He waited with all his concentration until he heard the clear echo from the stone, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, I'll jump down first to explore the way. You guys wait here for my signal."
After saying that, he put away the steel claws inserted into the rock wall. Then, he took a deep breath, jumped up, and his figure instantly disappeared into the deep darkness.
After about five seconds of long waiting, there was a dull thud from the bottom of the cave, which was obviously the sound made when He Youpeng landed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, He Youpeng's unusually deep voice came from below, "Everyone, come down..."
The others did not hesitate when they heard the words. One by one, they put away the steel claws embedded in the rock wall and jumped into the deep darkness.
For safety reasons, Li Ming wrapped a metal ring around the waists of Cecily and Yunshan, which made the three of them land significantly slower.
When everyone's feet touched the ground and lit the special torch, they realized why He Youpeng's voice was so low just now.
Because what comes into view is a mountain of corpses...
These corpses were obviously severely corroded, with blackened bones on top and thick black liquid underneath, emitting a special pungent smell.
Faced with such a miserable scene, everyone fell into silence, and the air was filled with heaviness and depression.
After a while, someone gasped and said, "These bones...should...should be the first batch of missing immigrants."
"It's really puzzling. Why did they jump from above in the first place?" More people were confused.
"Huh...huh..." He Youpeng kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm his racing heart.
He tried his best to suppress the fear that was constantly surging in his heart, and said with a slightly different tone in his voice: "Let's... let's investigate the situation here first. Jiang Yaoyao is a genetic warrior. She will not disappear for no reason."
Li Ming looked around, his eyes scanning everyone's faces, and finally resting on Belinda.
Apart from him, Belinda was the only one who acted slightly calmer and didn't lose her temper as much as the others.
As for Cecily and Yunshan, they held onto his arms tightly since they landed, as if this was their only support.
Li Ming turned to look at the tall woman next to him, and saw her smile bitterly, with deep helplessness in her voice, "Little man, I really don't know what's going on. I just feel extremely scared and can't control it."
"We... we shouldn't have come down here. There might be ten thousand-year-old ghosts here." Yun Shan could not hide her trembling in her words.
Li Ming could also feel the fear, but it had no impact on him.
The only thing that worries him is that here, the superpowers are extremely suppressed, and the metal control distance is only thirty meters, which is simply outrageous.
Everyone followed He Youpeng, and began to explore this huge and mysterious underground cave with anxiety and trepidation.
The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the space, and each sound was extremely clear, as if it had been amplified countless times, making the already tense atmosphere even more depressing.
Time slips through the fingertips like fine sand, passing slowly.
This underground cave seemed to be endlessly vast. They had been walking for more than ten minutes, but they still had not touched the boundary of the cave.
Just when He Youpeng was about to stop, a huge outline suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The vague shape made his heart skip a beat.
He quickly quickened his pace and walked forward, wanting to find out what was going on.
However, when he finally got closer and saw the scene in front of him clearly, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and fell into a sluggish state.
Not only He Youpeng, but also the people behind him, including Li Ming, were stunned.
