In fact, Matsumoto Masaga and Bingbing entered a real research area, but a waste storage facility, which is equivalent to a garbage dump. Of course, the garbage here is a little special, so we used a specially renovated room as a storage room. However, because we are actually searching for the technical achievements of the Russians, it is inevitable that we need to rummage through boxes and cabinets to check all places where things can be stored. Therefore, it is inevitable to touch the lock switch in this garbage storage room. However, Masaga and Bingbing are in a bad luck, and they happened to meet them. In fact, if any other team of people in this room will not be so embarrassed. The key is that Masaga Masaga needs to protect Bingbing, so the combat power cannot be exerted. If Bingbing is not there, Masaga Masaga alone can handle it by himself, and there is no need to call reinforcements at all.

"Everyone is gathering, so don't act separately." I said to Matsumoto Masao and I, "Just now, found their monitoring room there, and got the structural diagram here. Next, just search as needed, and there is no need to run separately."

"Thank you so much." Chihuo Longji said: "I don't want to search every room anymore. I need to find something, and I have to worry about the mechanisms or guards that may appear at any time. It's so hard!"

"Yes, yes! It's so tiring to look for aimlessly without goals!" said Sakura Yu Shen Hina.

Christina asked, “Where should we go now?”

"I don't need to go to the above ground, all of them are office areas. The important ones are underground." As I said, I pointed to one of the passages and said, "You can find a vertical passage not far from here. Only when you go down there is a real base."

"What is a real base?" Masaga Masao keenly captured the keywords in my words.

Kakuda Ichiro explained to Masaga Matsumoto: "In fact, the Russian research base is not here at all, but at the bottom of the sea. The location we are now is just a place equivalent to the entrance to the ground. There is a transportation channel at the bottom of the basement of this place, from which you can pass through the entire ice layer and then reach the bottom of the sea, and the real base is below."

"Then don't we just need to go down from the elevator over there to get to the research base?" asked August Xun.

I shook my head and said, "No, it's not that simple. First of all, I'm not sure whether the passage is an elevator or not. I only know that there is a vertical passage connecting to the seabed below, but I don't know what kind of device it is. And, if I guess correctly, they should have cut the passage."

I didn't ask me to explain this time. Everyone understands what I mean. Since the castle on the ground is equivalent to the entrance, it naturally has the same function as a guard. Now that we are fighting in with great fanfare, the other party will certainly not be foolish and do nothing. As long as the other party is not mentally retarded, they will think of cutting off the connection between the undersea laboratory and the castle.

In fact, this Russian design has something in common with our New World research base.

Our guild's New World Research Base is a rare super high altitude floating island, which means it is difficult to enter directly from the outside. Because most flying creatures cannot fly at that height. The Russian player's underwater laboratory is similar. Although it is not in the sky, the bottom of the Arctic Ocean is also an extremely difficult location to reach.

Don’t think that if we have Atlantis technology, we can run around underwater. This is the game world, not the ocean in reality. There are monsters everywhere under the sea here. And basically the stranger the location, the stronger the monsters will be.

The Arctic Ocean is a strange location below, because it is not only located at the northernmost end of the earth, but also covered with ice layers of dozens of meters thick on the sea surface, which is much more exaggerated than the ice layers of the Arctic Ocean in reality. More importantly, the depth of the Arctic Ocean in the game is much larger than that in reality. In fact, it is not only the Arctic Ocean, but all the ocean depths in the game are greater than that in reality, and there are many trenches and undersea mountains, which are much more complex than the undersea terrain in reality.

Because the Arctic Ocean environment in the game is so special, there are many monsters in this place, not only are they large in number, but also very exaggerated in the level. It is very dangerous to move underwater in such a place, and you need to constantly deal with those deep-sea monsters.

These deep-sea monsters, coupled with the extreme cold and deep-sea environment, form a natural barrier, which plays the same role as the floating island of our New World, which is to prevent outsiders from entering their interiors through abnormal ways.

Of course, otherwise outsiders will need to have a way to enter. The method used by our New World Floating Island is to use a dedicated one-to-one teleportation array, which is combined with a space shield and a space anchor to completely block the space of the New World Floating Island and surrounding areas. Only special teleportation arrays are allowed to enter, and others cannot force teleport.

We are not clear about the methods used by Russian players for the time being, but it should be a similar method to us to connect this ice-made castle with the research base under the sea, just like we use a teleportation array to connect Aisinger and the New World Floating Island. Anyway, if ordinary people want to go down, they must pass through this special channel. Of course, we are not ordinary people here, and even without this channel, we may not be able to go down. But compared to ourselves, we still hope to use the ready-made channel. However, this wish is probably unlikely to be realized.

"No matter whether there is a connection there or not, we will know if we go down and take a look." Zhenhong said and walked towards the direction I just pointed out.

Seeing that Zhenhong had walked over, we followed. The reason was unknown on the road afterwards, but we didn't encounter any interceptors. Moreover, Ling actually sent a message to me that they had all returned to the training space. The portal we had come over before had been lost, but the Gun God's man collided with the mechanical knights, mechanical triceratops and heavy armored mechanical dragons we had encountered before. The mechanical troops who were originally going to pursue us directly fought with the Gun God's man at the entrance.

This news made me understand why the mechanical knight did not catch up and make trouble with us. After all, although this castle is not big, the mechanical triceratops and heavy armored mechanical dragons cannot enter, the mechanical knights can still move freely. But now they are all attracted by the Gun God, which is just convenient for us.

Without any interception, we successfully reached the location of the passageway marked on the structural diagram. This place has a wide downward slope, and there are skid plates on the ground, which are obviously to facilitate supplies and personnel. Below this slope is a large space, which seems to be regarded as a transit warehouse, because there are many messy things here, most of which are worthless things, but there are also some valuable items and a small amount of research-worthy things. Of course, after we passed, all of these things went into our pockets.

The deepest part of this transit warehouse is that opposite the wide passage that came down, and there is a very tall wall, and behind the wall is the connecting room. However, to enter, you need to get the gate in front of us first. This thing is not made of ice, but serious armored steel, and the thickness is amazing. I poked a hole on it with Yongheng and tried it. The thickness of this door was as high as eight meters. This is no longer a door. It is simply a huge metal ingot.

Considering the thickness of this door, we finally decided to open holes in the wall. Anyway, the wall is an ice layer. Although the hardness of the ice layer here is an exaggerated due to temperature issues, we have Xiaofeng and Yifrit. It is not too troublesome to have them melt the ice layer. Of course, this place is Arctic after all, so it is not too easy to melt. Before, when Xiaofeng melted the floor, it was because the floor was not too thick, but the ice layer that was more than ten meters thick was very thick, and when the ice layer was thicker, it would transfer heat to each other after the thickness of the ice layer, making it more difficult to melt.

Although it was very hard to open holes in this ice layer, after seven or eight minutes, we successfully bypassed the gate and drilled into the area behind the gate.

Because the ice layer itself has a certain degree of transparency, when using lighting technology to assist lighting, you can see where the gate with a small section of ice layer is located on the side. When we exceed the range of the gate, we can see that the color behind is different. After all, the gate is metal and not transparent, so the light reflected by the lighting technology is different. The blue part behind should be the blank area, and the black part is the metal gate.

After confirming that the position of the gate has been drilled, we start to drill holes horizontally in the direction where the gate is located. As long as we drill through the last bit of ice, we can enter the room behind.

Iphrit had been put away by me, and only Xiaofeng stood there and stretched out a hand to the wall in front of her, and in front of her palm, the ice layer was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the ice layer continued to melt, the passage where we were located continued to move forward. However, just when we thought we could enter the passage there soon, a squeak suddenly came from the ice layer that was slowly melting in front of us, and the sound quickly became louder, and a large amount of white steam rose in the passage instantly.

"Hmm?" Xiaofeng nodded unconsciously, then put down his palm. At this time, the heat disappeared and no longer showed water vapor in the channel, but we immediately discovered a very amazing situation. There was a small hole on the ice layer in front of the channel, and this small hole was spraying water into the channel. Before, Xiaofeng's high-heat barrier, the water was directly vaporized, but now after Xiaofeng removed the high temperature, the water flow immediately appeared, and with the appearance of the water flow, there were actually cracks like spider webs on the ice layer in front.

"Damn!" I had only time to say this, the ice layer in front exploded, and then a large amount of sea water poured in, but the water flow was not too fast, and the water pressure was not high. Sure enough, the water flow did not keep rising after entering, and it only flooded the passage for more than half and stopped rising. However, we are extremely depressed now, because this is already very obvious. The Russians must have cut off the connection between the castle and the base below, and did a very good job, and actually released water to flood the entire room. In this way, if we want to continue, there is only one way... dive down by ourselves.

"These bastards are doing a great job, right?" Kakuda Ichiro said angrily.

Masaga Matsumoto comforted him, "Stop talking, if we do this, we will only feel more aware."

I also nodded and said, "If it were our base, I might bury bombs in this place in advance. I could also knock someone down while removing the passage."

"I now understand what happened to the fulcrum explosion in the first place." Kakuda Ichiro said.

The fulcrum explosion mentioned by Kakuda Ichiro was actually the first time we lost the fulcrum. After we established the fulcrum as a support point in Japan, Japan has been trying hard to remove the nail inserted in Japan. After that, with the succession of Japanese players, we did feel tremendous pressure, and even couldn't hold on. Later, under the intervention of Japanese gods, we finally lost control of the fulcrum for the first time and all evacuated. However, in order not to allow Japanese players to take advantage of the pluralism, we buried a large amount of explosives under the city before leaving. As a result, as soon as our people left, the Japanese players took a dirt plane to blow up the sky before they even celebrated their successful occupation of the fulcrum.

The big explosion reimbursed tens of thousands of NPCs and players in one go, and the economic losses were also quite astonishing. Since then, the Japanese have always called the incident the "Fuclear City Big Bang".

I did not answer Kakuda Ichiro's complaints, but said to others: "You all have diving skills, right? We need to prepare later. Does anyone need to do some preparation first?"

I actually know that no one needs to prepare here, but because Kakuda Ichiro is present, I have to show that I don’t know enough about them. After all, Kakuda Ichiro doesn’t know the relationship between Masao Matsumoto and me.

After confirming that no one needed to prepare, I pulled the mask down, then pounced forward and directly drilled into the water.

The hole that was just destroyed by the water flow was not actually because of the water pressure, but because it had been melted by Xiaofeng, it was only a thin layer, so it could not withstand the water pressure and was crushed. In fact, the room here was not completely submerged, and the water was only about 1.5 meters deep. However, in the center of this room, there was a large circular hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters. However, because it was pitch black below, it looked like the gate of hell, which was quite infiltrating.

"This should be the original connection channel." I said using a communicator in my helmet.

"Will there be many monsters underneath?" Kakuda Ichiro asked.

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhenhong replied, and then asked me: "Are we going straight down like this?"

"Wait a moment, I'll give you some good things." (To be continued...)
