There was no wind at this time, but the smell was much stronger than before, indicating that we were not far from the strange smelling thing.

In addition, there is light in this cave, but it is not natural light, but light.

We saw coal piles and heard the roar of machinery at the camp by the beach, but there was no power generation facility as I had expected, and when we returned to the camp we later checked, it was just ordinary freshwater conveyance equipment.

And now that there is electricity in the rock-walled cave deep in the dense forest, and there is no similar power generation facility found anywhere else in front of me, I can't help but wonder if the power generation facility is also here.

This idea was soon further corroborated, as we approached the cave and found a coal pile on the side of the hole.

Well...... At least the thermal power generation I inferred at the beginning was correct.

Because of the light, Dawn no longer had to walk on my shoulder, and he himself took the gravel gun and I in a protective formation and walked into the cavern little by little.

In addition to cinders, there were some messy footprints at the entrance of the cave, which looked like they had only stepped on it for a short time, and it was estimated that the people who had been hiding inside had also left by boat with the rest of the camp.

When I entered it, I found that it was indeed a huge semi-natural stone cave, and the reason why it was said to be semi-natural was because there were some holes dug in the stone cave for ventilation.

More coal and wood were piled up in the first cavern, as well as some electrified conveyor belts, apparently used to transport fuel.

It seems that there is 100% power generation here, and if we just follow the direction of the conveyor belt, it will be easy to find.

This cave is connected to two other mountain passages, and the exhaust passage is different, these two passages are completely natural, one is the passage connecting the conveyor belt, we went inside, sure enough, we found several huge boilers and some simple power generation equipment, although the scale is not large, but the power supply to this cave and the underground building not far away is more than enough.

I didn't destroy the power generation facilities here, because I didn't want to "blind" Dawn just yet, and since I didn't cut off the power even when the voodoo people evacuated, there must be some special reason for this, and I would like to know what that reason is.

After looking at the small power station here, we went to the innermost end of another passage on the left.

There are no more forks in the two caves connected by passages on the left and right, that is, if you want to go to the caves I have seen halfway up the mountain outside, you must have to find your way somewhere else, and although those caves seem to be natural, I believe there must be a famous hall inside.

The cave on the left is much larger than the "power room" on the right, and here I saw two familiar stone platforms, with a sink and a laboratory table with bottles and jars on the table, which looked very uncomfortable.

There was nothing on the stone platform, and there was no hidden passage below, but a row of metal ball devices appeared behind the two stone platforms.

I counted and found that no more, no less, exactly ten.

"Why, there's it here. Dawn stepped forward and kicked at one of the metal balls.

"Probably more gecko people. I frowned and looked back and forth, and was hesitating to open one to take a look, when I found that the "female ghost" who had just shown us the way and then disappeared had actually reappeared.

She appeared in front of me out of thin air, as before, without warning, and because of the cramped area this time, she appeared directly in front of my eyes.

I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, and my back hit the stone platform, and I gasped in pain.

The "female ghost" seemed to smile when she saw my actions, but the smile was fleeting, and I don't know if I was dazzled.

She walked back and forth in front of the row of metal balls, then stopped at the center of the orb, and then pointed with her finger.

I glanced at Dawn and I only heard Dawn say, "She seems to have asked you to open the ball......"

I wiped it, and I thought to myself what if something terrible came out after opening it? I may have thought that I was almost invincible in a one-on-one situation, but after I met this "female ghost", this situation changed, and I couldn't deal with her alone, let alone other unknown things.

I don't want to take that risk.

So I didn't make any moves, and I'm still keeping an eye out for the "female ghost" attacking us.

Seeing that I didn't move, the "female ghost" turned her gaze to the morning light, and then pointed to another metal ball.

This metal ball is different from the one in the middle, the one in the middle is completely closed, and this metal ball has a small gap.

If there really was anything in this metal ball that would threaten our resentful spirits, I am afraid that it would have been drilled out a long time ago, so I seem to be able to feel more at ease with this sphere.

It's just that...... Why did she change her target to Dawn now? Could it be that my indifference had disappointed her?

But I soon remembered that when she led the way just now, she was originally going to the morning light, so now I am the "supporting role".

Dawn glanced at me, obviously asking for my opinion, and after a moment's hesitation, I nodded, but I didn't let Dawn take the risk, and walked over on my own.

However, as soon as I got closer, the "female ghost" dodged and stopped in front of me, which was also the second time I had a super close contact with her, because she was too fast, and I didn't stop for a while, causing me to crash into her at once.

Well......

Sure enough, it wasn't some ethereal ghost, because I wasn't walking through a mass of nothingness, but I did come across an actual form, and it felt like I had hit a ball of thin cotton, and there was some cool air.

I hurriedly took a few steps back, and found that the "female ghost" was pointing at the morning light again.

"Xiao Chen, I'll come. Dawn said, "She's letting me drive it." ”

I had no choice but to get out of the way, but Dawn didn't have any fear, so she stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the crack in the metal ball with her hand, and after a hard effort, the gap widened further.

That's when I saw that there was actually a person locked up in the metal ball.

Why do you say "actually"? Because although they are also human, they are not gecko people, nor are they common human species, and the people here look like Niki people like Dawn!

Dawn herself was also surprised, seeing that he didn't care about the danger, she directly reached into the gap, and then dragged the Niki out.

But...... This Niki is dead, and I can't calculate the time of death, because once the creature in this metal sphere is affected by energy, the speed of corpse decay will be greatly slowed down, not to mention that a Niki has been affected by energy and turned into some kind of Gu thing, so it is impossible to infer the specific date of death.

Fortunately, Chenxi's mental illness did not collapse because of the sight of this corpse, after all, he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves.

"Do you know him?" I asked.

Dawn flattened the corpse's face and looked at it for a while before saying, "I know...... But he disappeared a year and a half ago. ”

A year and a half ago...... This is actually the approximate time when the cataclysm will erupt.

Dawn continued, "He wasn't the only one who disappeared at that time. ”

"Oh, how many people are there, and why are they missing?" I asked.

"I remember there were nine of them, because when we went out hunting, we were all used to working in groups of nine. Dawn said.

I frowned and looked at the ten metal balls in front of me, and thought to myself, could it be that the other eight people were also in these metal balls......? There are ten metal balls here, so who is the remaining one?

Then my eyes involuntarily fell on the "female ghost".

I rub ......

This "female ghost" brought us here, maybe she wanted me to get her "body" out? After all, with her, there would really be enough people for ten people here!

It's just that...... Her "mana" is so powerful, how can she still use me? Could it be that she has some other purpose?

Dawn continued to fiddle with the corpse of the Nianki and said, "Strange...... How could they die here. ”

"Do you still have to think about it? Of course I was caught by those voodoo people. I said, "It seems that these voodoo people have been hiding here for a year and a half. At that time, the Blue Bird Company had already established the underground research office in the northern area of your southern foothills, which means that there must be something between these two groups of people. ”

There is a real basis for my assumption, after all, I knew early on that the Blue Bird Company and voodoo were closely related.

"Why did they attack us?" said Dawn in confusion, "We don't have any grudges against them. ”

"That's not a reason. I said, "You haven't seen how many innocent people have been killed by them?" I said, and began to open the second metal ball.

I didn't pick the metal ball in the center that the "female ghost" pointed to me just now, but started from the side of the metal ball that Dawn had just opened.

The "female ghost" didn't move now, just standing in the corner like a statue of nothingness and watching me and Dawn move.

We quickly opened the second metal orb, and there was indeed a Nicky corpse inside, in the same condition as the previous one, with no external injuries or decomposition, and the corpse's face was even quite well preserved, and it looked very peaceful.

If I hadn't been sure he was out of breath a long time ago, I might even have a little suspicion that the Niki was just asleep.

I quickly asked Dawn to see if this was also one of the missing people at the time, and Dawn nodded in affirmation.

Then we opened all the spheres except for the metal ball in the middle, and dragged out all the Niki corpses inside, and lined them up on the ground.

At this time, Dawn began to do some of the usual worship methods of these Niki corpses to the corpses of their people, similar to the Niki rituals I had seen on Taoyuan Island.

In the meantime, the "female ghost" had shifted her gaze to me, and pointed to the remaining metal sphere again.

I frowned, and said in my heart that this "female ghost" still seemed to be thinking, so I tried to say, "You let me open it?"

To my disappointment, however, she didn't respond, just kept repeating the instructions.

Could it be that this is just a remnant of consciousness of energy? Just like the many remnants of the previous split of the Moon Spirit, it only has a certain period of memory and acting style, but it does not have a real human way of thinking?

I tried a few more times and found it still the same.

At this time, Dawn had already completed those ritual movements, and also walked up to the last metal ball and said, "This should be this woman's corpse here." ”

I nodded, and asked Dawn what she thought of it, if she was going to open it.

Chenxi's answer was beyond my expectations, and he actually said without hesitation: "Open it, if she wants to harm us, she doesn't have to wait until now." ”

"Don't hesitate. Chenxi's tone became more resolute: "She won't harm us." ”

I frowned, feeling that Dawn's tone was suddenly a little unusual.

"How can you be so sure?" I said, "Is it ...... Do you know her?"

Chenxi turned her head to look at the position where the "female ghost" was standing, and then really nodded and said, "Yes......"

I'd like to ask Dawn to tell me what was going on, but he's now crouched down at the last metal ball of his own accord.

In fact, I don't have much disgust for this "female ghost" who has protected me many times, and with the fact that Chenxi is so determined now, I didn't stop it.

However, I didn't step forward to help, but secretly put my hand on the Gu musket next to me, if this "female ghost" has any hurtful actions, I can also be prepared.

This last metal ball was obviously much stronger than the others, and since this metal ball was completely closed, Dawn couldn't open it at all.

Wipe...... Now I can't help even if I don't help, I walked to the metal ball and let Dawn dodge, and then looked back at the "female ghost", regardless of whether she could understand it or not, I said directly: "I'm helping you, don't hurt me." ”

After saying that, I swung my sword and slashed at the closed junction of the metal ball.

My strength and the super hardness of the mountain opener formed an excellent match, and after a crisp loud sound, the metal ball also cracked a crack.
