Beneath the Ice Layer, even if there was another civilization, it must have perished long ago in the extreme cold.
"We will clear the way for you here; all you need to do is go down and scout. Thank you," Wang Zhu said, holding a control stick.
"No need for that; yours probably can't reach the bottom anyway. I'll handle it myself," Ziyu replied. "Zero, transform the front end of the Battle Armor arm into a drill."
Ziyu's Battle Armor immediately changed, revealing threads and then automatically manufacturing an electric motor inside.
Now, Ziyu had almost unlimited power, so there was no longer any concern about insufficient energy.
"I'm going down; you all just wait here," Ziyu told the staff.
"Be careful," Wang Zhu said, realizing he couldn't help any further.
Ziyu leaped into the air, body soaring before diving down, with the threaded drill at the forefront.
"Bang!" The hard ice was instantly broken by Ziyu, who drilled in like a fish entering water.
"It's really cold here..." Ziyu could clearly feel the temperature change; it was much colder than on the Ground. "Zero, activate heating."
"Understood, sir."
The heating system activated, and the interior of the Battle Armor finally returned to a normal temperature.
"Sir, the heating system is operating normally, controlled at twenty-four degrees."
Shattered pieces of Ice Layer caused small ice flowers to fall onto Ziyu's Battle Armor. The ice flowers landing on the small holes of the Violet Feather Armor would be directly absorbed by the Battle Armor and converted into energy for the Nuclear Energy reactor.
"Sir, we have descended one hundred meters."
"Sir, one hundred fifty meters."
"Zero, send the depth report to Ground base."
Ziyu felt it was better to report this basic information.
"Five hundred acres... one thousand meters... one thousand five hundred meters... two thousand meters..."
"Previous human estimates suggested that the average thickness of the Ice Layer is two thousand meters..."
Ziyu was no longer the child from before; after living in the ancient world for over twenty years, Ziyu had matured significantly and could remain calm in such situations.
"Two thousand three hundred meters..."
"Two thousand seven hundred meters... Sir, please slow down!"
Zero was continuously reporting the thickness of the Ice Layer that Ziyu was penetrating and urgently called for a stop.
"Sir, going any deeper means entering beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet, above Antarctica... we don't know how deep the water is in between."
"As expected..." Ziyu knew that previous human estimates were likely correct; this time it was confirmed that beneath the Ice Layer there was not only land but also an ocean submerged beneath it!
"Sir, you are currently above the Ice Layer, so you can break through a bit of the Ice Layer to investigate."
Ziyu nodded and used a drill to create a hole about the size of a fist in the Ice Layer, revealing the dark seawater inside.
Now Ziyu relies on a spotlight and temperature sensors to distinguish things in Nearby.
"Whoosh..." A shadow swept through the seawater.
"Is that... a marine creature?" The temperature sensor of Ziyu displayed red when the shadow passed by, indicating that the object just moved had a higher temperature than Nearby!
However, the size of that shadow was beyond Ziyu's understanding of living beings.
"Sir, it could be descendants of ancient Dinosaur or similar creatures, trapped in Antarctica and reproducing."
"What do they eat? How do they breathe?" Under the Antarctic Ice Sheet, everything must be extremely scarce.
"Unknown, sir. I recommend you return immediately to avoid any accidents."
"I think so too." Ziyu chuckled and turned to head back through the large hole they came from.
"Sir, that unidentified creature is approaching rapidly!"
At first, Ziyu walked cautiously forward, afraid of startling any creatures. Now that he had been discovered, he naturally accelerated with all his might. The Thrusters on the limbs of his Battle Armor emitted colorful Particle Streams, and Ziyu's speed instantly reached an extremely fast level.
"Sir, you are not adapted to the conditions here, while that creature has been here all along, so its speed is still faster than yours."
"Huh? How can it be that fast!" Ziyu was shocked and looked back; indeed, a shadow was slowly approaching...
"I'm going for it..." Ziyu gritted his teeth, turned to face the creature, relying on the Thrusters in his legs to retreat while extending his palm...
"Swish!"
Two lasers shot out simultaneously, hitting the shadow above.
"Roar!" The roar of the creature in the deep water reached Ziyu's ears...
"What?" Ziyu was surprised; the creature was completely unharmed.
When Ziyu's laser hit the creature, the thermal sensor displayed a large area of red, indicating that the surface of the creature had reached a high temperature. However, as the red faded, there was little change in the creature's form, and there was no sign of bloodshed, which meant it hadn't even bled...
"Run." Ziyu's first reaction was to escape; he had no understanding of this creature and felt very vulnerable.
"Sir, that creature has reached the Ice Layer, but its speed shows signs of increasing... we might not be able to escape."
"Swish swish swish..." Moments later, Ziyu heard the sound of the Ice Layer passage being expanded behind him. Turning around, he could already see the creature's head.
The creature's head resembled a dinosaur from a museum exhibit about marine life, with a long neck and a very large mouth. Its surface was smooth and appeared quite elastic.
The creature struggled to advance towards Ziyu, occasionally opening its mouth to threaten him.
"The shell is too hard... let's break through from the inside." Knowing that continuing like this would surely lead to his death, Ziyu decided to take a desperate action.
Ziyu quickly decelerated, and the creature directly swallowed him whole.
"Here..." As soon as Ziyu entered the creature's mouth, he began to unleash laser attacks all around. Indeed, the inside of this creature was soft, and Ziyu's laser penetrated straight through...
"How disgusting." Ziyu could feel the creature rolling outside, while inside it was already a mess of blood and flesh.
"Continue." On the creature's "tongue," Ziyu kept firing lasers at a specific point inside its "chamber."
The creature sensed Ziyu's attack, feeling immense pain but unable to do anything about it.
"Crack..." The creature's upper jaw shattered as Laser continued its assault, directly destroying the creature's brain.
The creature struggled one last time before falling still.
Ziyu crawled out from its mouth, covered in the creature's blood, which was a disgusting shade of blue.
"I think it's necessary to continue exploring. This kind of creature shouldn't be too common in the sea... and there's really nothing to be afraid of. I think if we encounter one, we should just dive right into its mouth and go down the esophagus; using Laser to destroy the internal organs should be easier..."
The exterior of this creature... was truly of exceptional quality.
"We'll leave this creature's corpse here for now and drag it up for further study when we return." Ziyu kicked the creature.
"Zero, activate all electromagnetic wave detection, ultrasonic detection, infrasound detection, and infrared detection at maximum range. Let's delve deeper," Ziyu said.
