A big hole in the swimming pool?

Several people were confused by Clark McCann's words. Even if it was an earthquake, but the magnitude was not large. There was no crack on the wall of the house. How could it shake a big hole in the swimming pool?

After calming down and determining that the earthquake would not continue, Yang Jing took the lead in walking towards the swimming pool.

Sure enough, there was no water in the swimming pool full of clean water. In one corner of the swimming pool, a big hole with a diameter of about one and a half meters appeared. It was dark, like the devil's open mouth.

"What's going on? Is the underground here empty? We're halfway up the mountain!" Yang Jing asked incredulously looking at the big hole.

John Bruno said: "boss, it's hard to say. San Francisco itself belongs to the hilly area. The geological structure here is very complex, and no one can tell what's going on under this land. Maybe there's an empty hole underground in this place. Then the earthquake shook the upper layer of the hole."

Yang Jing shook her head and said, "that's not right. Before, earthquakes often occurred in San Francisco. Why didn't you see a big hole here?"

George Bruce nodded: "Boss, what John said is very reasonable. This villa area was developed in recent years. This house is also a new house. No one has lived in it before. After Mr. Zhao bought the villa and gave it to you, you were the first resident. Therefore, the swimming pool here has never been used. We didn't use the swimming pool until we came. Maybe the hole itself is already empty At an equilibrium point, as a result, we added so much water to the swimming pool. The water pressure of hundreds of tons at this position, coupled with the earthquake, suddenly destroyed the balance, so... "George Bruce spread his hands.

Yang Jing patted his head and said, "this is a swimming pool. If the house is also located on this hole? Wouldn't it be necessary to sink the house together in the event of an earthquake? That's a fatal thing! No, the house can't be bought. We have to find the developer to return!"

Yang Jing's words are not nonsense. No one can stand knowing that his house is actually located on a big hole.

If the hole collapses, it will really kill people.

Chris Barton took out a flashlight, squatted on the side of the swimming pool, took a picture of the hole, picked up a small stone and threw it down. Listening to the sound of the Stone moving in it, he said, "boss, the hole at the bottom should not be large, but it should be very deep, and the hole doesn't seem to be straight up and down, and there seems to be something in the middle."

Hearing what Chris said, the curiosity of several people was aroused. At least Yang Jing stopped complaining.

Yang Jing leaned over and stretched her head to look down. She didn't see what it looked like inside for a long time.

Chris flashed a flashlight around the big hole, then jumped directly under the swimming pool, squatted on the edge of the big hole and looked down again.

"What's there?" Yang Jing asked.

"It seems... It seems that there is a passage leading to other directions six or seven meters below. John, find a strong flashlight. The flashlight is too weak to see clearly."

John Bruno quickly ran into the house. Soon he came running with some strong flashlight. At the same time, the guy also carried a bundle of static rope.

Yang Jing looked at the guy carrying the rope and asked, "John, do you still want to go down and have a look?"

John Bruno threw the rope, then one handed a strong flashlight, smiled and said to Yang Jing, "boss, aren't you interested in the following? Anyway, I'm curious about the following. If the situation permits, I really want to go down and have a look."

Yang Jing shook her head helplessly and motioned a big thumb at this guy.

Chris looked at it after changing the flashlight, and then said, "boss, this hole should not be formed naturally. It seems to be artificially dug. But I don't know why, this hole hasn't been dug to the end. However, there is a channel six or seven meters below, where you can see the steps inside."

After a pause, Chris continued, "come down, you all. It should be strong around the hole and there should be no holes."

Hearing Chris's confirmation, Yang Jing jumped down with him.

"Boss, no wonder the earthquake made a hole here. Look at the traces of the hole. In fact, there is only a layer of rock of more than 20 cm at the bottom of the swimming pool and the top of the hole. This earthquake directly opened this layer of rock, and then it became like this under the pressure of water."

Yang Jing took a flashlight to illuminate the edge of the hole and nodded. His swimming pool is dual-purpose for swimming and diving. The deepest end of the hole is 3.5 meters, and next to it is a three meter high diving platform. The water is so deep to prevent people from diving into the bottom of the swimming pool.

Through the reflection of strong light flashlight, you can clearly see that there is an inclined downward channel six or seven meters below the cave. The most important thing is that the inclined downward channel has steps.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jing's heart couldn't help moving. It's false to say you're not curious. Anyone who sees this situation probably wants to find out what's below.

"Let's wait and make sure there are no aftershocks. If there were another aftershock just down, we might all be buried inside!" although she was curious about what was below, Yang Jing shook her head and refused to go down immediately. There was an earthquake just now, and I'm still drilling underground at this time. This is not an old longevity. I don't think I'll live long!

Chris looked at the big hole and asked, "would you like to find something to cover it first?"

Yang Jing looked around and shook his head. "No, we have a single house here. There are so many trees around the yard that people outside can't see here."

Several people returned to the house. George Bruce called the local earthquake station to ask if there would be an aftershock. Others helped Yang Jing pack lunch.

After lunch, after confirming that there would be no aftershock, the five people were immediately fully armed, weapons, lighting and life support supplies were all ready, and then they tied a main and a pair of two static ropes to the diving platform next to the swimming pool, which was how they got down from the big hole.

Clark McCann is tall and powerful, and he has rich experience in drilling underground holes, so he takes the lead, John Bruno follows in the second place, Yang Jing is in the middle, followed by Chris and George Bruce.

Clark McCann quickly landed on the stepped passage leading to the lower part of the slope. After going down, he felt it a little, took off his gas mask and shouted at the top: "come down, the air is no problem. This passage should be connected with the outside world, where he can feel the flow of air."

After several people went down, Yang Jing said, "let's not go down, go to the other direction first, and see where this passage leads."

This passage is quite spacious, more than two meters high. Even the tall Clark McCann can walk straight here. Hearing what Yang Jing said, Chris turned and walked in another direction, but not long after walking, the channel in front was completely cut off.

Some collapsed rocks and soil sealed the channel tightly, but judging from the direction and upward trend of the channel, the channel should directly lead to the ground, but I don't know why it was blocked.

Clark pulled the rocks and looked closely for a while. Then he said, "it should have been a long time since it collapsed here. Look, some tree roots have grown here."

"Then go back and don't waste time here." Yang Jing said. Several people immediately turned their heads and walked in the direction they came.

When he came to the bottom of the big hole, Chris felt it again and said, "there should be a channel to the outside. The air discharged upward from here is enough to illustrate this."

George Bruce bared his nose, smiled and said, "it smells like the sea. Is it straight to the sea below?"

Yang Jing also said with a smile, "it's better to go directly to the Dragon Palace of the Dragon King. Oh, by the way, you don't recognize the Dragon King. What sea god Poseidon you recognize."

Clark joked: "boss, we are identified atheists, we believe in Engels..." several people laughed.

While talking and laughing, they walked down carefully. They found that the downward channel was spiral, and as they walked down, they heard the sound of the waves.

After walking down for several minutes, it is estimated that they all came to the bottom of the hill. A huge space finally appeared in front of everyone.

As George Bruno guessed just now, there is indeed sea water in this huge underground space. There should be a secret passage connected with the Pacific Ocean outside. In addition, on the rock wall in the west of this space, some mottled light came in. Obviously, this rock wall should be the cliff below Yang Jing's house.

When people focused the lights on the East and north of the space, several people couldn't help taking a breath.

Just to the east of this space, there are dozens of totem columns with different shapes. In the middle of these totem columns, there is a reduced pyramid.

Although the pyramid is only seven or eight meters high, its shape is a typical Mayan Pyramid. On the rock wall behind the pyramid, there is an ornament similar to the sun.

The shape of the pyramid and the sun ornament is nothing. The most important thing is that when these two things are illuminated by light, they vaguely reflect a yellow metallic luster

Clark said to himself dully, "God Jesus, is this pyramid really built of gold?"
