“What is our mission?” Once the command system was clear, it was time to inquire about the mission to him.
"Professor Chris, tell me." Philip looked at an old professor in glasses.
"We will witness the wonders in human history, have you heard of Atlantis?" ask the mysterious Chris.
"Atlantis?" I'm empty with no memory of the past.
“You don't know Atlantis?" Chris surprised.
“Atlantis is an ancient myth on the European continent as a pure Aryan descendant, how could you not know it.”
"Is that weird?" manya suspect.
"Atlantis is a bedtime story that every parent tells, you don't know, it's unbelievable."
‘Older….'
Leia and I frowned, we had no idea who we were, let alone who our parents were.
"Rather than being surprised by what we don't know, why don't you explain it to us" Leia said annoyedly.
"Haha, I love to tell stories."
"According to mythological records, Atlantis was an ancient human civilization with highly advanced technology." Chris tells a long and interesting story.
The simple summary is that Atlantis was once very technologically advanced, but was destroyed for some unknown reason.
"So what's our mission?" my insistence
"Heronic explorers of the Empire discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization in the Mediterranean Sea and brought back an inscription in the ruins.”
“After being translated by linguists, it was concluded that the ruins were those that survived the destruction of Atlantis, on the inscription recorded the prosperity of the ancient Atlantis civilization in detail.”
“What surprises us is that, in addition to the praise of the ancestors, there are geographical coordinates on the inscription to calculate the process of geological evolution. These coordinates are located in Untersee Under the lake ice sheet.”
“According to the inscription description, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of Atlantis, the deadly weapon that destroyed the world, "said Chris excitedly.
"So what's the mission?" My toot.
We risked our lives to come here not to listen to his story.
"Enough, Chris, let me talk." Philip interrupted Chris, who was about to continue.
"The Empire sent sixteen expeditions to find the entrance to the ruins, but it all ended in failure.”
“Professor Chris thought that the entrance to the ruins was under the ice, so he called you here. Do you understand now?"
The soldiers explained what they were saying, and we immediately understood the contents of the mission.
The location of the new base was all fake. His real and imperial goal was to find the ruins of Atlantis and obtain the technology of the ancestors of Atlantis.
This explains why the Empire had to sacrifice thirteen submarines at all costs to pass through the waterway of Lake Untersee.
When we doubt.
"Colonel Philip, why are you so sure that the ruins are located under the ice of Lake Untersee? Is there a base?" Leia asked.
Because only from the inscriptions on the ruins it was concluded, that it was not wise enough as a decision-making factor.
"Professor Skrein, please explain." Philip turned to the physics professor on the team.
"In the ruins of the Mediterranean, we found an energy guide of the Atlantean civilization, who can guide us."
"There's another question. Since there is navigation, why not rely on road expeditions to dig the passageway, but use a submarine. Underwater, even if we find the entrance, we can't get in."
Professor Skrein was about to speak, but was interrupted by Philip.
"Miss Hannah doesn't have to worry about this, we can arrange it freely.” Philip tried to hide a secret.
"…Yes.”
After confirming the next plan, Leia and I gathered the students for a meeting and informed them of the new assignment.
The conditions on the submarine were very bad, and they were looking forward to returning home, and now they were told to go on a new mission, and of course they would not be happy.
The actions of the army will never change the mission based on the mood of the soldiers, no matter how dissatisfied we are, we must cooperate with the actions of the expedition team on the road.
At Philip's request, the expedition team moved two-thirds of the supplies for them.
According to normal consumption, we were able to last for ten days, but ten days was not enough for us to return to the trip, so I ordered a daily supply of food for each person divided in half. To be the "Extra" twenty-day food supply.
Time goes to the next day.
Philip enters the submarine with ten fully armed henchmen and six scientists to direct the next operation. With them came the round crystal ball that Chris had brought with him, and Chris stuffed it into the cockpit.
On the way, the expedition team moved to three kilometers away to build a temporary camp, they would wait for us for ten days, and they would return after ten days.
The Antarctic expedition had no sympathy. If you do not return in ten days, you will be considered dead. The living will not care about the graves of the dead.
“All preparations are ready.”
Demoman detonates a TNT explosive embedded in the ice, and cracks appear in the frozen ice.
The submarine quickly injects water to dive, and the submarine's diving force opens a large hole in the ice surface, but after a few hours, the hole will freeze again due to the severe cold.
In the cockpit, Chris was fiddling with his crystal ball, and two small shops, one blue and one red, lit up on top of the crystal ball.
"Good, there it is, my guess is correct, haha." Looking at the two points on the same parallel line, Chris laughed cheerfully.
"Back two, five nautical miles, drive." Philip glanced at the crystal ball and ordered us.
"Sonar room, report the situation at two o'clock."
Driving without looking down the road means seeking death, and you should contact the sonar room first.
"Sir, there's a group of corals three nautical miles from two o'clock." Big Hans hurriedly reported.
"We can't go, and further ahead is the reef."
"I told you to drive, this is an order!" Philip shouted loudly, and the soldiers beside him and guarding the cockpit door placed their hands on their gloves.
Leia grabbed my sleeve and shook her head, telling me not to act rashly.
"What are you doing? Do as Colonel Philip asks." Leia glared at the helmsman.
As the submarine moved forward, two small dots on the crystal ball also approached.
The atmosphere in the cockpit was tense, and the forehead of the three helmsmen operating the direction and speed continued to pour cold sweat.
Philip had no knowledge of underwater navigation but they knew, and sailing less than three nautical miles off the reef was quite dangerous
Less than a nautical mile from the reef, Big Hans and Britta were screaming frantically at us from the sonar chamber.
"Colonel Philip, we need to stop and stay here!"
Ignoring Leia's wink to me, I took out a joystick and tried to slow down the submarine.
"Miss Hannah, are you going to break orders?"
Without any warning, Philip pulled out his gun and attached it to my temple.
“I don't care! I'm the captain of this team I can't let all my teammates follow your adventures.”
“Then go to hell!”
From the corner of my eye, I saw Philip pull the trigger.
He wants to kill me! Is he crazy?
Philip shot without any hesitation at all, making me unable to react to dodge the bullet.
‘Is my life going to end like this?’ thought reluctant.
And “Bang!” Gunfire echoed throughout the ship.
