The swimming pool leaked a big hole?

Several people were confused by Clark McCann's words. Even if it was an earthquake, the magnitude of the earthquake was not large, and there was not even a crack on the wall of the house. How could it be possible to shake a big hole in the swimming pool?

After calming down and making sure that the earthquake would not continue, Yang Jing took the lead and walked towards the swimming pool.

Sure enough, the swimming pool, which was full of clear water, had no water at all. In one corner of the swimming pool, a large hole with a diameter of about one and a half meters appeared, dark and dull, like the mouth of a demon.

What's going on here? Is the underground here empty? Our place is halfway up the mountain! Yang Jing looked at the big hole and asked in disbelief.

John Bruno on the side said: Boss, this is hard to say. San Francisco itself is a hilly area. The geological structure here is very complicated. No one can tell what is going on under this land. Maybe the place we are in There may be a hole in the ground, and then this earthquake shook the upper layer of the hole away.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, That's not right, there were frequent earthquakes in San Francisco before, why didn't they shake a big hole here?

George Bruce nodded and said: Boss, what John said is very reasonable. This villa area has only been developed in recent years. This house is also a new house. No one has lived in it before. Mr. Zhao bought this villa After giving it to you, you are the first resident. So the swimming pool here has never been used, and we only use this swimming pool after we come. Maybe the hole itself is already at a balance point, so we went to the swimming pool So much water has been added to the water, and the hundreds of tons of water pressure at this location, coupled with the earthquake, will destroy this balance at once, so... George Bruce spread his hands.

Yang Jing patted his head and said: This is a swimming pool. What if this house is located on this hollow? Wouldn't it mean that when an earthquake occurs, even the house will sink together? That would be a terrible thing. ! No, I can’t take this house anymore, I have to find the developer and return it!”

Yang Jing's words are not nonsense, anyone who knows that his house is actually located on a big hollow, probably can't stand it.

If the hole collapsed, it would be fatal.

Chris Barton took out a flashlight, squatted on the edge of the swimming pool and took a picture of the hole, then picked up a small stone and threw it down. Hearing the sound of the stone moving inside, he said: BOSS , the hole at the bottom shouldn't be too big, but it should be quite deep, and the hole doesn't seem to be straight up and down, and there seems to be something blocking it in the middle.

Hearing what Chris said, the curiosity of several people was aroused, and at least Yang Jing stopped complaining.

Yang Jing leaned over, stretched his head and looked down. After looking for a long time, he couldn't see clearly what it looked like inside.

Chris illuminated the perimeter of the big hole with a flashlight, then jumped directly under the swimming pool, crouched on the edge of the big hole and looked down again.

What's there? Yang Jing asked.

It seems... It seems that there is a passage leading to other directions six or seven meters below. John, find a strong flashlight, this flashlight is too weak to see clearly.

John Bruno quickly ran into the house, and after a while he ran over with a few bright flashlights, and at the same time, this guy also carried a bundle of static ropes.

Yang Jing looked at the guy carrying the rope on his back, and asked a little puzzled: John, do you still want to go down and have a look?

John Bruno threw the rope, then handed each of them a bright flashlight, and said to Yang Jing with a smile: Boss, aren't you interested in the bottom? Anyway, I am very curious about the bottom. If the situation permits, I will I really want to go down and have a look.”

Yang Jing shook his head helplessly and gestured a thumbs up at this guy.

Chris looked at it after changing the flashlight, and then said: Boss, this hole should not be formed naturally, it seems to be dug artificially. But for some reason, this hole has not been dug to the end. But the hole six or seven meters below location, and a passage, the steps inside can be seen from here.”

After a pause, Chris continued: Come down, all of you, the hole should be very solid around, and there are no holes.

Hearing what Chris confirmed, Yang Jing jumped down.

Boss, it's no wonder that the earthquake created a hole here. Look at the traces of the hole. In fact, there is only a layer of rock more than 20 centimeters between the bottom of the swimming pool and the top of the hole. This earthquake directly destroyed this layer of rock. It was shaken open, and then under the pressure of the water, it became like this.

Yang Jing took the flashlight to shine on the edge of the cave, and nodded. His swimming pool is used for both swimming and diving. The end of the hole is 3.5 meters deep, and next to it is a three-meter-high diving platform. The water is so deep to prevent people from diving into the bottom of the swimming pool.

Through the reflection of the strong flashlight, it can be clearly seen that there is an oblique downward passage six or seven meters below the cave. The most important thing is that this oblique downward passage has steps.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jing couldn't help but move in his heart. It would be a lie to say that I'm not curious. Anyone who sees this situation probably wants to figure out what's underneath.

Let's wait for a while and make sure there are no aftershocks. If there is another aftershock just after going down, we might be buried inside! Although he was curious about what was going on below, Yang Jing shook his head and vetoed it immediately. go down. There was an earthquake just now, and they are still drilling underground at this time. This is not because the old birthday star eats arsenic and thinks he has lived a long time!

Chris looked at the big hole and asked, Should I find something to cover this hole first?

Yang Jing looked around and shook his head, No, we have a single courtyard here, and there are so many trees around the courtyard, people outside can't see here.

Several people returned to the house. George Bruce called the local earthquake station to ask if there would be aftershocks. Others helped Yang Jing pack his lunch.

After lunch, after confirming that there would be no aftershocks, the five people immediately armed themselves, prepared weapons, lighting, and life-support supplies, and then tied two static ropes, one main and one pair, to the diving platform next to the swimming pool. It was only then that he got out of that big hole.

Clark McCann was tall and big, and he had rich experience in drilling holes, so he took the lead, John Bruno was in second place, Yang Jing was in the middle, followed by Chris and George Bruce.

Clark McCann landed neatly on the stepped passage leading to the slope downward. After going down, he felt a little bit, took off his gas mask and shouted to the top: Come down, the air is fine. This channel should be connected with the outside world, and the flow of air can be felt in it.

After several people went down, Yang Jing said: Let's not go down, go in another direction and see where this passage leads to.

This passage is quite spacious, with a height of more than two meters. Even the tall and burly Clark McCann can walk straight here. Hearing what Yang Jing said, Chris turned and walked in another direction, but not long after walking, the passage ahead was completely cut off.

Some collapsed rocks and soil sealed the passage tightly, but judging from the direction and upward trend of this passage, this passage should lead directly to the ground, but it is not known why it was blocked.

Clark pulled the rocks, looked closely for a while, and then said, This place must have collapsed for a long time. Look, some tree roots have grown here.

Then go back, don't waste time here. Yang Jing said, and several people immediately turned their heads and walked in the direction they came from.

When he got to the bottom of the big hole, Chris felt it again and said: There should be a passage leading to the outside below, and the air is exhausted from here, which is enough to explain this.

George Bruce poked his nose and said with a smile, It smells like the sea. Could it be that the bottom is directly connected to the sea?

Yang Jing also smiled and said, It's best to go directly to the Dragon Palace of the Dragon Lord. Oh, yes, you don't recognize the Dragon Lord here, you recognize the sea god Poseidon.

Clark joked: Boss, we are certified atheists, and we believe in Engels. Several people laughed.

Talking and laughing while walking down cautiously, as they walked, everyone discovered that the downward passage turned out to be in a spiral shape, and as they went down, everyone heard the sound of waves.

After walking down for several minutes, it is estimated that they have all descended to the bottom of the hill, and a huge space finally appeared in front of everyone.

As George Bruno guessed just now, there is indeed sea water in this huge underground space, and there should be a secret passage connecting it to the Pacific Ocean outside. In addition, on the rock wall to the west of this space, some mottled light came in. Obviously, this rock wall should be the cliff below Yang Jing's house.

When everyone concentrated the lights on the east and north sides of the space, several people couldn't help but gasped.

Just to the east of this space, there are dozens of totem poles of various sizes and shapes. In the middle of these totem poles is a reduced version of a pyramid.

Although this pyramid is only seven or eight meters high, its shape is a typical Mayan pyramid shape. On the rock wall behind this pyramid, there is a decoration similar to the sun.

The shapes of the pyramid and the sun decoration are nothing, the most important thing is that when these two things are illuminated by the light, they even vaguely reflect a yellow metallic luster.

Clark said dully to himself: God Jesus, is this pyramid really built of gold?

PS: The high fever subsided, but the low-grade fever continued, and I felt very uncomfortable.
