Chapter 316 The moment of life and death
The elevator channel is transporting people back to the Origin Star at full power. The wind is howling outside the glass channel, and various kinds of debris are constantly hitting the channel. The people who are transported up are shocked. An inevitable fright.
"The second to last batch!"
Xu Yunke took the lead in contacting the northern base through the communicator, and then passed the message to Chen Lin: "There are more than sixty below. It's over. Make good use of your time, Mr. Chen. After this group of people evacuates, you and the soldiers will evacuate immediately!"
"Is Lin Yun up there?"
"Yes!"
Director Xu responded loudly towards Chen Lin. The communication stone did not know what kind of impact it had suffered. A magical item that could communicate across two worlds was actually in the ocean at this time. The storm was on and off!
The communication methods commonly used by humans are extremely stretched. When ocean storms are raging, even radio cannot be sent!
The passage was shaking again. The group of people who had just been brought up by the elevator were panicking and holding on to the surrounding railings. Chen Lin immediately motioned to the soldiers on the side to help them move to the elevator where they were. Get settled.
“What’s going on down there now!?”
Chen Lin grabbed the arm of a staff member who had just jumped up and quickly asked him about his situation. The man looked at the fully armored soldiers in front of him in a panic, and said eagerly: "A lot of equipment was damaged, and the sea that was built before was damaged." I heard that part of the building collapsed, and the sea water has now flooded in!"
After the man finished speaking, he looked straight at the portal not far away. Chen Lin didn't stop him, he just couldn't wait. He jumped directly towards the portal. The world on the other side of the portal was safe. At least there was no need to worry about being frightened or even being killed here!
Chen Lin waved directly to Xiao Wu and waited until he came over before speaking out: "The situation has changed. You and the members of the guard must be prepared to go to the bottom of the sea with me!"< br>
"Mr. Chen, haven't the people been evacuated almost already?!"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously.
He didn't know what was going on in the underwater building complex at this time, and Chen Lin really couldn't explain it to him. He didn't have enough time, so the most he could do was just give him a word to prepare himself.
"Get ready!"
"Understood!"
Xiao Wu immediately gestured to the people behind him, while Chen Lin switched channels and spoke directly to Director Xu below established contact.
"Director Xu, have we started filling in sea water now?"
Xu Yunke was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Chen Lin even knew this. He could only say helplessly: "Some areas were knocked open. We have closed all the surrounding channels. According to the existing complete facility monitoring, Look, the only thing that has not been completely destroyed is the core hall where we are. We are still safe for the time being..."
Before Xu Yunke finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion from the communicator. This muffled sound was even felt by Chen Lin on the sea, because it was not only a sound propagation, but also accompanied by a strong tremor!
"The core area has been destroyed, Director! The wall on the west side has been broken by the sea water!"
"I fucking heard it!"
Xu Yunke said angrily, Quickly ordering the emergency management personnel below to go up the elevator, the communicator was suddenly filled with noisy instructions. The sound of exclamations and roaring waves came and went, making Chen Lin frown.
"Mr. Chen!"
Xiao Wu came from behind and said directly to Chen Lin: "The storm is about to reach the core point. The wind below has increased by 3% in three minutes. Level, I’m afraid I can’t go down to the bottom of the sea again.”
Chen Lin didn’t say anything. There was a loud roar in the passage, and the elevator passage that had been running slowly stopped moving at this time. .
The red light was shining brightly. Chen Lin raised his head and looked directly at the staff on the side. The answer he got was that the explosion below was that the top layer of the core area was broken off by some kind of undersea giant. The system is now unable to continue operating the lift. This means that the last few dozen people are currently locked at the bottom of the sea!
“Is there another channel!?”
“This is the only channel directly connecting the core area to the bottom. The others have been closed due to the storm! In addition, the underwater building complex has been severely damaged, and now only this one can pass!”
The staff responded quickly, while Chen Lin activated the underwater mode of the power armor while urgently contacting Director Xu Yunkeshu at the bottom of the sea.
Xu Yunke was feeling dizzy at this time. The core area was destroyed and they had to race up the stairs. He was even on the last elevator!
As a result, the loud noise just now made everyone at the scene feel cold. The notification they received was that there was a malfunction in the elevator channel. Although there is no seawater and rainwater pouring in, if they have been stuck In this position, everyone can imagine the outcome.
Xu Yunke quickly discussed with the people on the elevator. Lin Yun was also on the elevator at this time. The four or five members of the Blue Star Development Committee all had gloomy faces, thinking that they would definitely die this time.
"Everyone, you need to be prepared to sacrifice."
Xu Yunke spoke bluntly to the people in front of him. The sound of wind and waves outside were full of depression. , due to a system failure, the lights in the passage could not be kept on at this time. They felt like they were making their last words in this almost closed environment.
"Is the top of the passage locked?"
"The elevator has a complete security mechanism. There is only one possibility of stopping the operation, and that is that the passage above is completely disconnected. ”
Xu Yunke's eyes flashed under the light, and he said aloud: "If we were all still wearing power armor, we might still have a glimmer of hope... In such a harsh environment, we need to get out of this area. It’s tantamount to committing suicide.”
“If you can’t go directly to the portal area, you can only wait for death here...”
“So you mean to die anyway? "
Lin Yun interrupted at this time. She stared at Xu Yunke and said, "How do you know if you don't have a chance if you don't give it a try?"
"I am a person involved in the design of this passage. I know how this channel works."
Xu Yunke said decadently, "Both sides of the passage have been reinforced in bad weather and are made of steel... What do you think we can use to break open?"
"Maybe I can. ”
At this time, Lin Yun pulled off the necklace around his neck, which contained a specially made miniature explosive.
The material is N13 solid explosive developed by Lin Yun’s weapons research institute. This kind of thing is enough to explode the strongest heterogeneous steel material on the Origin Planet at this time, and the operation method only requires Lin Yun twisted its tail in a circle!
But before she could make another sound, a muffled sound suddenly came from the top of the elevator where everyone was.
Immediately came the second sound, the third sound, the fourth sound...
After more than a dozen muffled sounds, the entire elevator suddenly fell down!
In the panic, everyone was so desperate that they didn't make any more noise. They didn't know whether this voice represented salvation or a new disaster. They couldn't even resist at the moment and could only bear the coming fate!
