C61 (1/2)

I never thought that there would be a sea beneath the Wild Mountain, because that's impossible!

Wild Mountain spans the three nations' borders, and is surrounded by a large river basin. It's not rare for there to be a hidden river underground, but if there's a sea, then forget about me, I'm afraid no one would dare believe it.

But Charles said with confidence, even if I have a thousand questions, I can only continue to listen to him.

They advanced underground and arrived at the deepest part of the ground. To the drilling teams, the discovery of the Kobemaru was extremely shocking, because the Kobemaru had disappeared in Jiangxi Province, so how could they appear underground again?

When they arrived at the Kobemaru, the other members of the drilling team had already gathered. However, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, because behind the Kobemaru, there was actually a huge black ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see.

What shocked them even more was that the bow of the Kobemaru was actually facing away from the black ocean. This showed that the Japanese had piloted the Kobemaru to sea and they had even successfully returned.

What was at the end of the black ocean? Where does the end of the end lead to?

Why did the Japanese bother to do so much?

Small bombers must have been used to fly across the ocean, but in the end they were definitely unsuccessful. What was the reason for their failure?

Was the migration of the White Kingdom underground related to this black ocean?

Was the resurrection of the dead also related to this black sea?

No one knew, but the people from the drilling team were willing to search for the answer. They named the ocean beneath them Nether Sea and decided to cross the ocean to reach the end of the Nether Sea to see what exactly was at the end of it.

This decision was extremely crazy, but curiosity had already occupied everyone's heart, even Chen Yihuo and Charles who had been wanting to escape were attracted.

The upper echelons of the drilling team decided to leave 10 people behind to guard the Kobemaru to wait for news or rescue. If there were any problems, at least these 10 people could report everything to the higher ups, while the rest could all go out to sea.

The secret behind the end of Nether Sea was definitely related to the resurrection after death. Chen Yihuo was an outsider, he could not follow the group to enter, and could only wait in his original spot, but could not follow after being injured. Charles voluntarily requested to stay behind, and the other seven people were left behind for various reasons.

But once they left, they stayed at the edge of the Nether Sea for an entire ten days. The people who were heading towards the Nether Sea did not return, nor did they send out any news, as if they had disappeared into the vast universe.

After seven days, a rubber dinghy came back, but there was only one person on the boat, and that was Yang Qi. Other than Yang Qi, a hundred people had entered the Nether Sea, all of them lost contact with each other, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

Could it be that the end of Nether Sea was a hell? Don't even think about coming back alive?

Amongst the ten people that were left to guard, Chen Yihuo had an intention of retreating, but the other seven people decided to go deeper into the Nether Sea to find out the truth, and their opinions diverged. In the end, the other seven people also set off, but like before, they never returned.

There were only four people left in the dark underground area. Three of them had wanted to leave a long time ago while the other one was unconscious and heavily injured.

Chen Yihuo said: ”If only the three of us were to leave this place alive, we would definitely be caught and interrogated about what is happening underground.”

Zhu Haiming said: ”I do not plan to spread this matter, and I will not come back to Wild Mountain again in the future.”

Charles gritted his teeth: ”There are three people waiting for us at the exit, and they will catch us once we leave, there's a Chinese legend about a leopard cat replacing the crown prince. If we become the guards at the top, then we won't know anything about what is happening underground, and no one will make things difficult for us.”

Zhu Haiming asked: ”How do I trade this for a crown prince?”

Chen Yihuo's voice trembled: ”You're saying we should kill them?”

Charles said: ”Only by killing them will no one know about us.”

Chen Yihuo frowned, ”What if there is someone at the end of the Nether Sea who can return alive?”

Everyone immediately turned their gazes towards Yang Qi, wanting to ask what exactly happened at the end of Yang Qi's Nether Sea and why he was the only one to return alive.

Unfortunately, Yang Qi was heavily injured and had been in a coma the entire time, so Zhu Haiming asked again, ”What about this person? Should I take him away? ”

Charles clenched his teeth and said: ”Only he knows what is going on at the end of the Nether Sea, we must bring him and ask him about the situation. As for whether anyone else will come back? It would be better if we blow up the escape route, so that no one outside can even think of entering. Even if there are any survivors inside, they cannot even dream of returning! ”

Under Charles's lead, Zhu Haiming and Chen Yihuo both agreed to this suggestion. They carried the unconscious Yang Qi back to their original path, and in order to seal the exit, on their way here, they used the remaining materials on their way here to build a stone wall to seal the exit. And just to be safe, they even purposefully laid a special mine for the Japanese under the ground.

Then, they started to use explosives to blow up all the entrances. They blocked the way in and also blew up the only exit, causing Zhu Yingqiong and I to think that the stone walls and the explosive exit were all done by the Japanese.

After they came out, they killed the people they were guarding, turned into the ones they were guarding, then left the Wild Mountain. However, on the boat, the unconscious Yang Qi suddenly disappeared.

After searching for a while without any news, they left the Wild Mountain and each of them swore not to reveal the secrets of the Wild Mountain. If they were found by the upper echelons of the drilling teams, they could only say that they were people left behind, and that they knew nothing about the matters underground.

This is the version of the Drilling Team Two that Charles told me about in 1976.

I don't know if what Charles said was true or false, but I feel that Charles must still be hiding something very important from us, it definitely isn't as simple as he described it to be. Furthermore, after they left the Wild Mountain, something else must have definitely happened as well, but since Charles made up such a story to tell me, even if I asked again, he would not speak the truth.
