Chapter 267 The Abyss

After seeing the city in front of her with her own eyes, the elf girl finally understood why Alice didn't want to come here alone.

"Well, you think this is weird too, right?"

Folding her arms, Alice, who was floating beside the elf girl, pursed her lips angrily and complained, and when she heard what Alice said, the elf girl nodded approvingly.If she had thought that Alice might be a timid child before this, now the elf girl no longer thinks so.

Because this underwater city is indeed very abnormal.

Washington is not a city full of high-rise buildings, and naturally most of the parts submerged by the sea only have some low-rise two or three-story buildings.Because of this, they were not washed away by the tsunami, and most of them still retained their original appearance...as they should have been.

But right now, the underwater city presented in front of the two of them is completely different.

I don't know why, but in the eyes of the elf girl, all the buildings here seem to have been illuminated by some kind of distorting mirror. The buildings that were supposed to be rectangular have become abnormally distorted at this moment, as if they were sunken in. At first glance, it seems to protrude, and even those right-angled lines look like the fangs of a beast, which is disgusting.

"How is this going?"

Staring blankly at the twisted underwater city in front of her, the elf girl also looked at a loss.Alice gritted her teeth and snorted softly.

"How do I know. I just came to see this ghost place because it was fun, but I didn't expect it to be so weird... You also think it's weird here!"

"Um………"

This time the elf girl didn't have to agree against her will, because as Alice said, the architectural forms in front of her were indeed unusual.If it was broken by a tsunami, it should retain its minimum form. However, the buildings in front of her seemed to be entangled with each other. Moreover, they were obviously geometric buildings, but for some reason, the elf girl always felt like this. It's like some kind of living organ... It's like a tumor growing on a human limb, rotten, festering and disgusting.

Even the elf girl began to resist at the thought of going here to find a map.

"Okay, let's go."

However, contrary to the elf girl, perhaps because of the companionship, Alice is much more courageous at the moment. I saw her open her hands, and soon, a hexagonal barrier like ice crystals quickly unfolded, covering the The two were wrapped in it.Then Alice stretched out her hand and pointed at the elf girl next to her. Soon, she saw a silver-white light emerge out of thin air and was tied to her wrist.

"Let's go, remember, if something goes wrong, we will run away immediately... By the way, according to the previous agreement..."

While speaking, Alice turned on the Internet and sent a message to Chris and Franka. According to the agreement, after they arrived at their destination, Chris and Franka would maneuver the submarine to meet them here .But next...

"By the way, where are we going to find a map?"

This is what happens without a plan.

"Why don't you go to the library and look for it?"

"That man wants a map of some secret base, right? Will that kind of thing be kept in the library?"

That's right, if that kind of thing can be found in a library, it's too cheap.

"So, what about the airport?"

Thinking of this, the elf girl thought for a while, then pointed to an airport not far away.

"It doesn't look like a civilian airport there, but more like a military airport. If there was a map, it would usually be there."

"Anyway, we have to go."

Hearing the elf girl's proposal, Alice hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.After all, the airport is still a little far from the city, so she doesn't feel so uncomfortable. If it is in the city, then Alice may really have to think about it, but now...

"Okay, let's go, go back quickly!"

As a military airport, the buildings here are relatively strong. I don't know whether it's luck or other reasons, but at least the buildings in the airport have not been washed away.It's just that after so many years, the entire building is covered with a thick layer of aquatic plants. From a distance, it even looks a bit like a deep-sea monster with hair.

The two of them came to the door quietly. Looking at the dark door in front of them, Alice raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Soon, four or five fireballs like will-o'-the-wisps appeared out of thin air, illuminating the originally dark door. space.Under the blue firelight, you can clearly see the scene in the hall - tables and chairs are scattered all over the floor, and bones can be seen everywhere.Perhaps because of being in the sea, these bones are very well preserved, and most of them can even be seen as they looked when they died.This scene alone is enough to frighten people, not to mention that it is Alice's will-o'-the-wisp that illuminates everything...

Well, it's getting more and more like a ghost movie.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the elf girl couldn't help but shudder. Putting aside everything else, this scene alone was scary enough.

"Quick, where are we going to find that crappy map?"

"Probably the archives..."

Thanks to these two people, they still have some modern common sense before the cataclysm. Otherwise, if Iluka and Chris were replaced, it would probably be a carpet search.

"——————!!"

At this moment, the elf girl suddenly saw a huge shadow flashing outside the window. She subconsciously looked out the window, but there was nothing there except floating water plants.

Is it my own illusion?
Thinking of this, the elf girl shook her head, followed Alice, and continued to walk forward.

Fortunately, for the convenience of the airport building, a map of the building was also placed on the wall, so that the two of them didn't have to look around foolishly, but according to the directions indicated on the map, the two of them soon came to The archive room of the building --- this is of course a military important place, but those iron fences and anti-theft doors that were originally used to prevent irrelevant personnel from entering have been corroded by sea water and basically turned into a pile of scrap iron, even if it is a stainless steel gate. , in front of a capable person like Alice, it's just a matter of waving...

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a dull explosive sound, the heavy alloy gate rolled and flew backwards, causing a series of blisters.Alice waved her hand in satisfaction, and then walked into the room. The alarm device here had long since failed, and only dots of lights illuminated everything in front of her eyes.It should be fortunate that this place is also an important military place, and all the materials are sealed in iron cabinets, which means that as long as there are no accidents, the materials stored here should be intact.

"Okay, let's look for them one by one, it shouldn't be too slow."

Alice clapped her hands, carefully looked at the number on the cabinet next to her, and said to the elf girl next to her with a smile, and the elf girl nodded, and at this moment...

"------!"

Suddenly, a low sound came, and upon hearing this sound, the movements of both men's hands stopped.Then, Alice's face suddenly turned pale. She looked at the elf girl beside her carefully, and then asked in a low voice.

"Did you hear that voice?"

"…………"

Facing Alice's inquiry, the elf girl also nodded.She couldn't make out what it was, but it sounded like the cry of some kind of beast.

And the most important thing is that this beast seems not far away from them...

"We have to act quickly!"
