One Thousand Four Hundred and Thirty-Two Under the Ice

The team leader reacted quickly, raised his hand and shot through the ice blocking the hole. The airflow suddenly rose, and the falling drone seemed to be supported by something, and its speed slowed down.

Ye Han immediately switched the signal to the first drone, and sure enough he saw a rippling water below. He immediately said: "Quick, quick, one drone per person, no matter what you see, record it first before talking about it!"

The drone may not be able to find a place to stay after leaving the ice cave. If it falls directly into the water, it will lose sight of anything.

A few seconds later, the picture returned by the drone suddenly became extremely wide, covering neither the sky nor the ground.

Ye Han subconsciously held his breath - there was really space under the ice!

However, the drone's lens was pointed at the dark water, and Ye Han couldn't see anything clearly until the drone fell into the water, rolled and sank underwater.

The water blocked the signal, and the picture was immediately frozen. Ye Han unexpectedly discovered that there were a few tiny light spots on the edge of the picture, but the picture was too blurry and he couldn't clearly see what they were.

He immediately realized that the situation under the ice was not that simple, and quickly switched to the signal of another drone.

This time the angle was still not very good. It wasn’t until the third drone that we took a picture of the top of the cave - there was a little shimmer on the top of the space under the ice. At first glance, it looked like a low starry sky, and every time The brightness of each light spot is almost the same.

Ye Han was extremely surprised: "What on earth is this?"

"Did aliens do it?" Luo Qi guessed, "Or maybe it was a native organism of Europa!"

Even though Europa is far away from the sun, the environment here is very similar to the deep sea of ​​the earth, and Jupiter is constantly churning the subglacial ocean. In billions of years, a group of protozoa has evolved, which is not worth making a fuss about.

Ye Han said disapprovingly: "The aliens have been here for so many years. Even if there are native organisms, they have been eaten up by the aliens long ago."

Luo Qi was convinced and said curiously: "Then what are these light spots for? Alien lighthouses?"

"Whatever it is, let's take a look first." Ye Han continued to switch signals, but until the last drone fell into the water, no more useful pictures were taken.

Ye Han immediately contacted the battleship: "Bridge, I am Ye Han!"

"Captain, where am I!"

"Contact the flagship immediately. We have obtained the picture under the ice. We still don't know the environment of the space under the ice, but we have found something unusual. You can send it to the flagship together. I will wait here for further orders from the flagship!"

"Understood!" He Lu immediately received the document and sent it to the flagship as soon as possible.

In addition to the footage captured by the drone, Ye Han also sent the method of releasing the drone back to the bridge and handed it over to the flagship.

A few minutes later, Ye Han heard He Lu's voice: "Captain, bridge call!"

"I'm Ye Han!"

"Captain, the flagship is asking if it is safe under the ice."

"I don't know, but all the drones fell into the water smoothly without any interception."

He Lu answered truthfully, and replied again a few seconds later: "Captain, the flagship ordered us to send people down immediately to find out the situation in the space under the ice, and then we will decide on further actions."

Ye Han sighed: "Understood!" He knew that this must be the result!

After the communication ended, Ye Han said without hesitation: "The order from the flagship has come, prepare to go down, I will be the first!"

Luo Qi quickly stopped him: "Boss, let me do it!"

"Let's go..." Ye Han was about to drive Luo Qi away, but the team leader had already jumped into the ice cave. His voice was only heard on the radio: "Me first!"

"And me!" A soldier jumped down immediately.

The other soldier followed silently.

Ye Han quickly stopped: "Slow down, don't get too close, keep the distance!"

Several soldiers who had squeezed to the edge stopped immediately. Although they did not jump immediately, they blocked Ye Han intentionally or unintentionally.

Ye Han smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this? You have to do it in the morning and in the evening. Come on."

The soldiers stubbornly blocked Ye Han,

One of the soldiers said with a smile: "Chief, please don't embarrass us. If we let you get ahead, where will our faces be?"

Ye Han was touched and amused at the same time, and finally chose to compromise: "Then, you jump first, and I will follow!"

"No, you should stay up there, we can just go down!"

"Bullshit!" Ye Han feigned anger, "Why don't you do it at all? If you want to do it, do it all together. Now, I order you to get out of the way!"

The soldiers were all blinded by this, and they were stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do!

"I order you to get out of the way!" Ye Han's voice became more and more severe. The soldiers had no choice but to move aside.

Ye Han strode to the edge of the platform and jumped into the ice cave with a slight jump.

Luo Qi quickly followed. Soldiers, look at me and I look at you. You might as well follow.

So everyone jumped down one by one. After a while, all the people on the platform jumped out, leaving only two groups of people guarding the side hole.

If Ye Han hadn't ordered these two groups of people to stay where they were, they would have jumped too.

Eight minutes later, one group of leaders was the first to cross the ice.

Before escaping from the ice cave, he saw the water surface in advance and gave instructions to the platform to break through the icicles.

After just a few seconds, the icicles opened up, and the airflow immediately supported a group of captains.

A group of captains descended slowly, and their speed suddenly accelerated after passing through the ice cave.

However, at this time, the team leader had already activated the individual aircraft. After flying directly under the ice cave, he looked up and down at the space under the ice.

There must be about 200 to 300 meters between the ice layer and the water surface. The water surface was pitch black and the underwater situation could not be seen. However, under the ice, just like the picture sent back by the drone, there were dots of light everywhere.

Out of curiosity, a team leader turned on the tactical light on his helmet. A bright light fell on the top of the cave. He immediately saw a scene that he would never forget - many blood vessel-like vines grew on the bottom of the uneven ice layer. Sparse and slender tentacles hung from the vines, the short ones were one or two meters long, and the long ones were seven or eight meters long. Those dots of light came from the ends of the tentacles.

A team leader had heard that many fish in the deep sea had evolved the ability to emit light in order to hunt. Are these strange vines similar to deep-sea fish?

The light from the tactical light seemed to make these tentacles very uncomfortable. They quickly curled up and soon shrank on the vines in groups, which made the team leader marvel.

This is really a rare Western scene. I just don’t know if these vines are native to Europa or created by aliens.

He also noticed a detail. There were some vines near the ice cave, but all the vines within a radius of 50 meters with the cave entrance as the center were dead. The tentacles of the vines between 50 and 100 meters were scattered, and the vines between 100 and 200 meters were drooping. They returned to normal only after 200 meters.
