Sinmonger Chapter 17: Limited time, cool down
Chapter 17 for a limited time, cool down
"The change in temperature." Anshui said to everyone: "At this moment, it has already begun." Have to pretend: "It's twenty-four degrees here right now, and if my observations are correct, the temperature is continuing to drop, slowly but surely."
The gunsmith added: "By the way, we've lost our 'feeling' now, even if it freezes like an ice cellar, we won't feel cold."
"What do you mean, what is 'loss of feeling'?" the knights asked one after another.
"A bunch of sluggish guys." The consultant said: "What he means is that although the five senses in the general sense are still alive, they have deviated. You can feel the hunger, fatigue, and even excretion. Mental insecurity."
After everyone heard the words, their expressions changed abruptly.
The consultant continued: "To put it more simply, our brain's alert mechanism for 'self-preservation' is disarmed. Long periods of time without blinking won't cause soreness, holding your breath for long periods of time won't hurt, hurt The pain will also be reduced accordingly, and there will be no tension and panic in a very critical situation.”
"Doesn't that sound beneficial?" one asked.
"Humph..." The consultant sneered, and just as he was about to taunt at full level, Vanessa rushed to explain before him, "No, this is very dangerous. The brain reminds us of pain, fear, and discomfort. Threats to the body. Losing this feeling can easily lead to death without knowing it.”
The consultant was interrupted by her and missed the best time to taunt, so he had to give up, and continued in an impatient tone: "That is to say, you can hold your breath for more than five minutes and still not feel uncomfortable at all, but your The body will be deprived of oxygen as usual; you can also eat dozens of kilograms of food without bloating and discomfort, but it will not affect the occurrence of gastric perforation." He stretched out two fingers: "In addition, let me remind you that we There are roughly two types of death threats faced now, both of which are related to time.
First of all, our biological clocks are disabled, watches and electronics have stopped working..."
When the consultant said this, many people took out communication equipment from their backpacks and pockets, or looked down at their watches. They were surprised to find that all the time-keeping tools seemed to have stopped in the passage.
"...In this ruin, the passage of time cannot be calculated by instruments. We who are hungry and do not know the time may die of starvation or thirst unknowingly because we do not eat or drink for a long time. ." As the consultant said, he took off the breathing mask: "But this one can be taken off. As far as I know, the air quality inside this relic is better than anywhere in the world, so don't worry about it."
It is estimated that under the influence of the consultant's words, some people went to drink water as soon as they took off their masks.
"I would also like to remind that because there is no sense of urgency to excrete, it is possible to become incontinent over time." The consultant added maliciously, and the drinker sprayed the water out of his mouth at that time.
The gunsmith showed a thoughtful expression next to him, and said to himself: "Sure enough...it was very dangerous at that time..."
"Of course, I don't think it's possible to stay in the ruins for that long, because the low temperature killed us long before that." "So, another threat is naturally that the temperature has dropped. It's summer, and everyone wears very thin clothes when they come down. And we can't feel the cold. Once the temperature drops below zero, someone may be unaware. hypothermia, collapsed and died.”
Suyside said at this time: "We can go back to get the equipment to keep out the cold, and then turn back again."
The consultant said: "Don't you understand, I said clearly enough, the key is 'time'. Leader John also told us that the temperature is slowly decreasing every second. Who knows the low temperature of this ruins. What is the limit, minus 40 degrees? minus 200 degrees? This team is now going back, adding cold protection equipment and then wasted time, where will the temperature drop?
We are still in the temperature range where human beings can survive. The period between 24 degrees Celsius and minus 20 degrees Celsius is the only time to explore the ruins. If the temperature continues to drop, it will drop to near absolute Zero degrees, then even if you send robots down, it's useless.
We have no choice but to move forward and try to find the treasure quickly and bring back the important, carryable parts before we freeze to death. There is only one chance, and it is likely to fail and die here. If anyone does not want to participate, I suggest going back now, just in time to report the situation here to your superiors. "
After saying this, the consultant walked away a few steps: "You guys of the Steel Commandments, you can discuss it. I will avoid it. I will call you in five minutes. By the way, I can calculate the rate of temperature reduction."
Vanessa glanced at him: "The watch is out of order, how do you know it's been five minutes?"
The consultant tapped his temple with his finger: "Human timing, I count the seconds very accurately, and the error will not exceed two seconds every twenty-four hours." He smiled: "In fact, I started from the entrance channel. I started counting before, so I think I'm the only living clock here that knows the time." He turned around and walked towards the dark water.
The Twelve Steel Discipline didn't discuss it for five minutes, and they, or she, quickly made a decision.
Watching all the ten knights come to the ropes and climb back up one by one, the advisor walked over to Vanessa and asked, "What? Don't you have to explain it to the other executives of your organization?"
"I will ask these ten people to go up and explain if they are not. ~IndoMTL.com~ Vanessa replied.
"Well...will be outside, is there something wrong with the military order..." the consultant read.
"I'm average in Chinese, don't talk about classical Chinese." Vanessa immediately asked: "Then... now there are only five people left, you can let your team leader speed up the pace of action, I don't want to freeze to death here."
After the knights all went up, the advisor said to the dark water: "Temperature?"
"22.6." Darkwater replied.
"Oh..." The consultant thought for two seconds and said, "It will drop to zero in about two hours, and if we haven't found the treasure, we should consider giving up and evacuating."
Darkwater said at this time: "It's going to be teleported."
So far, Vanessa and Suyside still don't know most of the situation of the ruins, and they are a little overwhelmed when they hear this. All they saw was that the explorer John pressed his hand on a handprint symbol on the ground, and the whole room was engulfed by cyan light...
