Chapter 182 21W07 Eight Caves
Chapter 182 21. W-07 Eight Caves
Kaidester sent a lot of messages. The situation was probably that Kaidester obtained the detailed itinerary information of Jia Si Ai Lin through her daughter using some special methods.
It seemed to be the rule of inheritance tax. Kaidester's daughter wanted to inherit the estate and went to find someone through the tax department.
In short, the clues they got were:
Jia Si Ai Lin went to W-07 last year. According to the information found so far, there were only two people traveling with her. One of them should be a famous explorer, and the other one looked like a woman. It was not sure if there were other teammates.
Their ship went directly to an island in the East China Sea of W-07.
The special thing about W-07 is that it is a planet without seasons, which maintains a habitable temperature all year round, and the mines are very rich. It is one of the few metal-rich planets on the endless route and was discovered as early as the colonial era.
In other words, this planet is the real home of gold diggers. Its existence has greatly promoted the gold rush era, and the large number of ships passing by also ignited the pirate craze.
There are many pirate treasures in the extremely cold glaciers of W-08, and those treasures were basically robbed from W-07.
Because of the rich mines, the development level of this planet is ahead of other planets, but the situation is also extremely complicated.
The destination of Gas Aileen is in a sea area called the East China Sea, near the secondary route of W-07.
Following this clue, Kadester chased to the target island. According to local investigations, Gas Aileen and others went out to sea more than a dozen times in half a year after landing on the island with diving equipment, obviously looking for shipwrecks.
The environment of W-07 is special, and the number and density of shipwrecks on the seabed are relatively high. Many explorers will go to salvage shipwrecks.
Especially after the minerals were controlled by the state and the early gold rush families, salvaging shipwrecks became a new era of gold rush.
Gold is always valuable. If you are lucky enough to find an early gold rush bank ship, you will make a fortune.
So this is not surprising.
Rich people can also find it for fun.
According to Kadester's investigation, the number of people and team members of Garth Aileen's dozen voyages has been changing, with a maximum of more than 30 people and a minimum of only six or seven people.
Except for five relatively fixed names, the rest may be explorers found in the local area.
There are more than 90 people in total.
There are many details to be dug on this list.
But when Kadester tried to find these team members to investigate the situation, he found that all these people were missing.
Including Garth Aileen herself, she also disappeared after the thirteenth voyage and completely disappeared from the list of voyages.
But after that, the team also went to sea for the fourteenth and fifteenth times. Until the last voyage, all ninety people on the list had no news.
They disappeared in society.
They disappeared completely in all aspects.
The only clues that Kadester could find were the number and names of people who went to sea, and there was no list of their return.
So Kadester could not determine whether these people disappeared on the sea or on the island, and at the same time could not determine whether the reason for their disappearance was that they died in the sea.
There are several speculations here.
One is that they died during the salvage.
The second is that they died in some kind of internal struggle.
There are many other speculations.
If you have to choose the cause of death, Zheng Yun tends to the first one, that the shipwreck is weird, but Kadester firmly believes that Jia Si Ai Lin is a bitch, and she may kill her teammates, so he thinks that Jia Si Ai Lin killed people.
But no matter what.
Jia Si Ai Lin has disappeared, and all the other people on the list have also disappeared. The people of the West Factory have investigated separately on the island, but they can't find any clues to prove that they are still alive.
So Kadester believes that Jia Si Ai Lin may have died. The logical basis is the fourteenth and fifteenth voyages. If Jia Si Ai Lin is alive, she will not be absent from the list.
At this point, Li Xiya intervened in the topic and expressed her speculation to Zheng Yun from another angle.
She is not sure whether these people are dead.
But she can basically be sure that the ninety people on the list have never left W-07, or even left this sea area, and at most went to a certain island.
"Send the location of the island. By the way, do you think there is a fairy gate in this sea area?"
Zheng Yun asked after thinking for a while.
Ninety people went out to sea fifteen times in total, and the team members disappeared one by one. Summarizing these clues, Zheng Yun's first reaction was, did they leave from the immortal gate?
This question should have been asked to him, but the Heavenly Palace didn't even know the door to the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. If there was a special door on the seabed of this place, it would probably be impossible to find the answer.
In addition, this incident happened last year when his adoptive father was seriously ill, and it was impossible for his adoptive father to leave any clues.
Fortunately, he still has the Immortal Palace Map.
You can take a look at the Immortal Palace Map.
At present, Kadester has not yet determined which sea area the team of Jia Si Ai Lin went to after going out to sea, and has not sent the location. Let's find it after they determine the area.
After asking this question, Zheng Yun put down his mobile phone directly and looked up outside the pawnshop. It was already evening, and the shops along Jinhuai Road were all lit up with advertising signs.
The soft breeze blew across the old street.
The locust trees made a rustling sound.
The barbecue restaurant across the street was filled with smoke, and the aroma of various snacks was lingering. Pedestrians on the street strolled leisurely, their figures were illuminated by the signs, and the pace of life was slow and peaceful.
Stared at it for a long time.
Zheng Yun lay on the rattan chair and sighed softly, looking sideways at his side, Li Huawan was chewing corn and watching TV series.
She was living comfortably.
She was just a mascot.
"Master Xian, Ergou just came over and said that Fatty Ji wanted to eat barbecue, and asked Master Xian if you would buy it for him?"
Li Huawan asked in a gentle voice.
"..." Zheng Yun was slightly stunned, why were all these troublesome things, as if he didn't let him eat, and he had to make merit before he could get the reward, and he wanted a broken barbecue.
What's so good about this thing?
Can't you grill it yourself in the Heavenly Palace?
After sighing again, Zheng Yun handed her his mobile phone: "Eat if you want to, use your mobile phone to order, and you can also order some if you want to eat."
While speaking.
Zheng Yun also glanced at her.
Li Huawan's voice is quite nice, with a kind of ancient elegance, but the word Ergou still makes people can't help complaining.
Zhang Ergou is in her forties, but Li Huawan calls her Ergou all the time. She doesn't respect Ji Dao very much, and usually calls him Fatty Ji.
Ji Dao never gets angry either.
He just feels a little aggrieved occasionally.
"I don't eat. I only eat vegetables now." Li Huawan shook her head, picked up Zheng Yun's phone and started to order.
Zheng Yun glanced at her. Her figure was about the same as when she first came out. He vaguely remembered that she ate spicy hot pot every day at the beginning, and used hot pot base to make it according to the phone. Now she only eats vegetables, and he doesn't know why.
It doesn't matter.
Now we just have to wait for Kadester's reply.
Everyone in the West Factory is in W-07 at the moment. They must use signal ships to communicate with each other, and physically transmit messages through the foggy sea. It takes at least ten hours for the message to be transmitted back to W-02.
In other words, the information sent back by Kadester was actually sent by him ten hours ago, and it would take ten hours for his question to be transmitted.
Waiting for Kadester's reply will be twenty hours later, even if he spends money to expedite it.
So Zheng Yun is not in a hurry.
Even if he is in a hurry, he has to wait.
There is a quick way. He can take his phone through the secret fairy gate, go to the Dusi Relics Museum in W-07, squat in the exhibition cabinet, and communicate with Kadester.
It will be much faster.
But that picture is too outrageous.
Who would risk entering the museum exhibition cabinet just to send a text message? Who would believe this reason? The police will just watch him quietly and let him continue to make up stories.
And a casual check on the phone will show that it is daytime in W-07 now, and the museum should not be closed yet. If he goes there now, he will be exhibited with the cultural relics.
It's still too outrageous.
There is no need to do this for the time being. Consider it when the situation is urgent. At present, the clues there are just a little bit strange, but they are not very important, so there is no need to take risks.
"It's done."
Li Huawan returned the phone.
Zheng Yun glanced at it casually. She only ordered a few skewers for Ji Dao, and spent a total of 20 yuan for the minimum delivery price.
She is quite nice.
Know how to save money for herself.
But where would the head of the Immortal Monitoring Division save face? The twenty-yuan skewers had to pass through Zhang Ergou's hands, who was an interstellar deliveryman, and delivered them from the pawnshop to the Heavenly Palace Alchemy Pavilion.
Everyone could see this along the way.
Their Ji Ye, who ruled the Heavenly Palace, wanted to eat barbecue, and the Immortal Ye crossed the endless starry sky to buy him a few pieces.
This was indeed a bit too much.
Roughly speaking, the Immortal Monitoring Division had already spent all its cash. In addition to the medical expenses for Jiang Meng, there were still about three million yuan in the account, all of which were dirty money from the Thousand Immortals Dojo.
It was indeed a bit too fast to spend money.
You have to spend money to do anything.
Once the three million is spent, there will be no money left, and you have to find a way to go out and make some money back so that the Immortal Monitoring Division can continue to develop.
"Alas."
Zheng Yun sighed again. Although the economic pressure was great, he still had to order what he should order, so he picked up his phone and ordered a few thousand yuan of barbecue, at least everyone could taste it.
Ji Dao, this guy.
I hope his pills can be worth this barbecue.
After placing the order, Zheng Yun lay in a rattan chair, quietly looking at the busy streets outside. The sound of fireworks in the city mixed with the sound of the TV series in Li Huawan's hand made people relax.
The pawnshop had no business.
The signboards on the storefront were not turned on.
Even the lights in the store were not turned on. It was all due to the street lamps on the street that cast some warm yellow colors, which had a very obvious sleep-inducing effect.
Sitting here, it seemed as if I had returned to a night ten years ago. After finishing my homework, I showed the pawnshop to my adoptive father, and Jiang Meng sat on a small stool watching cartoons, carefree...
Lying down.
Zheng Yun fell asleep slowly.
I don't know how long it took, and a little calling voice came into my ears. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Li Huawan:
"Master Xian, there is a text message on my phone."
Zheng Yun rubbed his forehead and picked up his phone to take a look. It was already past one o'clock. Only convenience stores, fast food restaurants and barbecue restaurants were still open on Jinhuai Road, and there were fewer passers-by on the street.
Open the phone and look.
Kadester replied.
Only six hours had passed, and this message was not a reply to my question, but they had made a discovery.
I took a quick look.
Kadester said they found another clue. At the beginning of this year, someone landed on an island while going out to sea, and there were traces of life left by the salvage team on the island.
Several bodies were also found.
The deceased was Garth Aileen's teammate.
Based on this clue, they can determine that this island is a transit island for the salvage team, which can narrow the scope of activities of Jia Si Ai Lin and others and give them a specific direction.
At present, they have gone out to sea and plan to go to this island to take a look. At the same time, they also sent the location of the island.
Zheng Yun clicked on the map and took a look.
Note down the general shape of the continental shelf.
Then exit the map and open the photo of the Immortal Palace of Immortals, and look for similar continental terrain in the W-07 area.
This work is difficult to do.
When he was near the town of La Maine, he searched for several hours before finding it. Because the Immortal Palace of Immortals is very old, the surveying methods of ancient and modern times are completely different, and the shape of the continental coast depicted is slightly different from the current one.
In addition, there are too many contents on the Immortal Palace map, including gods and monsters, and the land of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, gods and ghosts is full of large pieces of small characters, crowded in a small blank area.
Especially W-07.
Gu Dongfang also knows that there are abundant mines here. Zheng Yun glanced and saw that the records and annotations here are densely packed.
Let's find it slowly.
It will probably take some time to find it.
After a while, Zhang Ergou came from behind. He came to close the shop. Seeing Zheng Yun busy at his desk and Li Huawan had no intention of returning to the Heavenly Palace, he quietly retreated.
Finally, at about two o'clock.
Zheng Yun roughly found a few similar places. The Immortal Palace Map did not depict these small islands. He simply blindly guessed by proportion and locked a piece of sea the size of a fingernail.
There is only a legend of gods and ghosts here.
There is a place called Ba Ku Yuan in the center of this sea area. There are eight interconnected seabed holes on the seabed. According to legend, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a boat master was sucked into the sea hole when passing through this place, and the entire boat master disappeared without a trace.
Later, the news was reported back to Haiwei, and Haiwei sent people to investigate. When they went there for the first time, they found eight seabed holes. When they went there for the second time, only six of the eight holes were left.
The sea depth is only about 100 feet, but these seabed holes are entangled and surrounded like an underwater maze. In the deepest place, the rope tied to the boulder can go in 20,000 feet.
That's all.
Two very simple paragraphs.
Zheng Yun roughly calculated that in the Ming Dynasty, one foot was 32-3 centimeters, and 20,000 feet was 6,450 meters.
In other words, the water depth of this place was more than 30 meters on average, but there were several holes as deep as 6,000 meters.
This record was actually not the usual dangerous place of gods and ghosts. It was just a geographical record. Because a boat master disappeared and sank here, it was recorded by Haiwei.
In his own perspective.
The Ming Dynasty boat master sank every day.
Either sank here or there.
But objectively speaking, the sinking of the entire boat master was also a big deal in the Ming Dynasty. This situation actually rarely happened. At worst, one or two ships would escape.
The last time I heard the word "boat master sank" was in the last Qianzhou Strait. The thick fog covered the sky, endless sea monsters attacked, the sound of Xun was heard on the sea, and Haiwei fought sea monsters at night.
The sinking of the boat master was a big deal, but this time it was just because of a few holes, and Haiwei seemed to have not found the reason.
This matter should not be underestimated.
Haiwei often hides his hand, and the Immortal Palace Map can't record what happened after the map was completed.
This happened in the Extreme Cold Immortal Continent before.
The Immortal Palace Map of Changsheng did record the Cold Immortal Cave and the Earth Hole, just like the seabed hole this time, but the Immortal Palace Map did not record the subsequent events for some reason.
No one expected it.
Haiwei actually used the Cold Immortal Cave and the Earth Hole to make a Sacrifice Immortal Cave to control the Cold Immortal, and it worked.
With the previous experience, Zheng Yun is now unable to determine whether this Eight Caves Abyss has also been transformed by Haiwei?
