Chapter 329 Return to the Blood Lake

Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska, the former site of the Alaska Space Base.

The once-abandoned space base has been simply renovated and rebuilt. An artificial floating island is docked near Kodiak Island, and drones carrying cargo are constantly traveling between the artificial floating island and the space base.

A rocket carrying a space station stood on the launch pad. After a countdown ended, a dazzling fire flashed, and the rocket turned into a sharp sword and stabbed straight into the sky.

In the control room, there was only a middle-aged man leaning on a cane, quietly watching the rocket launch on the screen, as well as a series of changing numbers and graphics in the projection interface.

No other technicians can be seen here, only a few drones are on standby at the control desk.

The middle-aged man stood motionless, staring at these boring pictures, like a statue.

About a quarter of an hour later, a communication window popped up in the projected image, and a mecha with a completely silver mirror-like head appeared inside.

"The launch was successful, and the space station has entered the predetermined orbit." Robert Vader, who was controlling the mecha at the other end of the screen, explained in an electronically synthesized voice, "This way, we are settled."

"Thank you, doctor." Mr. Key nodded slightly, "We will wait until the space station is operational. I will visit you another day to send a thank you gift."

"No need." Dr. Wade responded indifferently and unilaterally closed the communication screen.

"It's not up to you." Mr. Key was still talking to the screen.

Then he turned his attention to the footage of the space station's experimental cabin and smiled.

Now that the 'room' is ready, it's almost time to take her home.

……

22 hours later, at the edge of the central area of ​​Abyss No. [-], there was a lake of blood.

Lin finally got off the floating off-road vehicle, and Irene had already got off in front and stood at the edge of the blood lake.

In the rolling gray fog, the bright red lake surface can be vaguely seen.

"This is where Brother Zhi evolved, right? You really picked a good place!" Erin commented with a smile, "If there wasn't so much fog, the scenery here would be pretty good."

"Be alert all around and see if they are coming." Lin Zhong just gave the instructions calmly.

In the end, he chose Irene's plan. Together with Irene, he went to the deep layer of the abyss from the route guaranteed by Irene's puppet army, while Asha advanced through the route guaranteed by the defense army. We met at Pianxue Lake station, and then headed towards the central area together.

Along the way, Lin Zhong heard gunshots and explosions coming from far away more than once, as if there was a fighting somewhere.

Their journey was relatively smooth, and they encountered no obvious obstacles. It was only because part of the road was damaged that they had to make several detours, and then encountered two attacks from abyssal creatures. This led to the scheduled more than ten hours. The journey turned into more than 20 hours.

At this time, 44 hours had passed since the depth contraction of the abyss began. If the depth expansion happened quickly enough, they would have to move towards the central area in one day.

"There are currently no other intelligent individuals in this area." Erin's eyes glowed red, and she quickly sensed the possible spiritual bodies around her.

But Fran stretched out her tentacles to explore, then raised her hand to point in a certain direction: "Lin Zhong, there seems to be a strange smell there."

"What does it smell like?" Lin Zhong asked subconsciously.

"The smell of decomposing corpses, at least last time I didn't smell a similar smell nearby." Fran replied.

"Are there any other living creatures nearby?" Lin Zhi asked.

"No more," Fran said.

"Then go and have a look."

Lin Duan drew his gun and led the two of them walking along the edge of the blood lake. The gray fog was always billowing in front of his eyes, making it almost impossible to see anything clearly.

But soon, a huge black silhouette began to loom in the gray mist, only a few meters away from them.

Lin Zhi observed carefully and determined that this thing was a building.But he remembered clearly that the last time they came to this blood lake, there was no such thing at the lake.

Lin Zhong cautiously walked closer to this huge silhouette, tried to turn on the searchlight, and was suddenly stunned.

He saw the thing clearly and recognized it.

This is the Abyssian refuge cabin that he and Fran found at the bottom of the Blood Lake!

He became vigilant, approached the hatch cautiously, and looked inside with his gun in hand. He still remembered the layout of the refuge cabin. They had locked the Abyss ghouls in the refuge cabin before.

If those corpses were still locked inside, they should have turned into ordinary corpses by now.

There is nothing inside. Although the layout is still the same as before, the corpses have completely disappeared.

Lin Zhi turned his head and looked at Fran: "You said there is the smell of decomposing corpses?"

"The source of the smell is there." Fran pointed to a piece of land near the building. "It's relatively light. It should be buried underground."

Lin Zhi walked there and examined the ground carefully.

The rock and soil here have obviously been turned over. The ground base here is very hard, mixed with a lot of concrete fragments, which cannot be dug with ordinary shovels and hoes.

But this place seemed to have been shoveled hard by a super-large excavator, and the soft mud underneath was dug up to cover the upper layer and flattened.

Looking at the situation at the scene, the bodies of those Abyss were buried here.

"What's going on? Your expression is so serious?" Irene asked while holding her hands.

Lin finally didn't answer her, and turned to look at the refuge cabin again.

This thing is comparable to a large container, and is thicker. It is also filled with equipment, weighing at least five tons.

Without large construction machinery, it would be difficult to salvage this thing from such a deep lake.

In the depths of the abyss, it is basically impossible to find such a device.

But Lin finally knew who could do this directly with his ability, and he also knew who would choose to bury the Abyss body properly if he discovered it.

Lin Zhi imagined the other party standing in this place, looking at the salvaged refuge cabin and the corpses. What was she thinking at that time?

Lin Zhong had some idea of ​​the loss of contact with Sister Yisi and the others.

He knew that if he continued on the road in front of him, they would eventually meet again, but in what form and what relationship they would meet again, he was not very willing to imagine.

"What's going on?" Irene vaguely felt Lin Zhong's complicated emotions, and tried to ask again.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Zhong just glanced at her and ended the topic simply and directly, "There is nothing worth paying attention to here. You should do your own thing now."
