Chapter 39: The Hive
The space they walked into was an artificially modified cave of more than 200 square meters, a hexagonal cave, with an entrance and exit opening on each stone wall, leading to the next cave space. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The stone walls are inlaid with fluorescent stones for illumination, and some traces of primitive nature can be seen in other parts, and the top of the 30-meter-high is completely artificially repaired.
Cameras, laser guns, ventilation pipes, drainage pipes, and all kinds of pipes that are not visible to the naked eye are in order, but most of these artificial traces on them are in tatters.
"I guess there's a reason for not going to repair it?" Zhong Shang pointed to it.
"Ah, because smart people can use these to find the right route, such as the direction of the water flow, hacking into the monitoring network, etc., and someone did that in the early days." Yuan Xinran didn't hesitate much, and directly chose to enter the cave in a straight line.
Zhong Shang followed.
Re-enter the still hexagonal space, with entrances and exits on each side leading to the next.
"I'm a little curious, what does it look like behind the main gate where the government and the military walk, is that the same?"
"No, it's not that special, it's just a straight passage."
"That's it?"
"That's a normal state, if you find a foreign invasion, close the alloy door, maybe more than three thousand or more than four thousand? I don't remember, but it was the hardest metal of the New Apocalypse, which allowed enemies to smash the door and defend against the attack system there. Compared to this one, it is much simpler and crude. ”
"It's no wonder that the main city of Ideal City has never been breached by the outer city."
"This is the initial barrier to the ideal city, and it is also the last barrier to get out of there, and it is normal to be a little difficult." Yuan happily led Zhong Shang into the next cave.
The hexagonal space that appeared in front of them this time no longer had entrances and exits on each side, and only three sides had openings to the next space.
Zhong Shang threw a stone at a stone wall that had no entrance.
The stone was bounced back by the stone wall, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, shattering,
"There is a miraculous protection on it, and it is difficult to forcibly destroy it." Zhong Shang touched the stone wall with no signs of damage.
"Well, it's painted with the ashes of the guards, and maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to contribute here, haha." Yuan happily turned the spirit ring between his wrists and saw Zhong Shang's expression, "Hey? Really? I'm kidding. ”
"No, it's not a joke," Zhong Shang sighed under his breath, "I can feel it." ”
"It's in line with the purpose of the Ideal City, nothing."
Yuan Xinran clasped his hands together, and the spirit ring turned on its own.
"After all, the greetings when we meet are all those things, and we should have been numb a long time ago."
This time she didn't go in a straight line, choosing an entrance on the left.
"It's closer, and the route has been adjusted."
"It's so cautious." Zhong Shang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Two hours later.
Yuan Xinran's pace suddenly slowed down and began to hesitate.
This time, there were only two entrances and exits in the hexagonal space, and she stood still and didn't move.
Zhong Shang looked at her.
"Lost?"
Yuan happily shook his head.
"No, the power of miracles will guide the guards in the right direction. I just think it's a little strange to meet someone out of town at this time. ”
Zhong Shang quickly understood what Yuan Xinran meant, as he sensed through his own way that someone else was approaching not far away.
Seven people were approaching them from the direction of the entrance on the left.
Zhong Shang observed Yuan Xinran's expression, only hesitant and not dignified and defensive, considering the characteristics of the hive labyrinth, the possibility of his own person is very high, and there is at least one military guard inside.
Different from Zhong Shang's way of perceiving, Yuan Xinran already knew that the miraculous power of the seven ideal cities was approaching, which meant that there were seven military guards in front of the left, and there were no civilians.
This kind of team, which is composed entirely of military guards, is generally on the mission of the government or the military, and will not go through the passage of civilians.
At this time, there were two entrances and exits in the space they were, as long as she chose the entrance and exit on the right, she could avoid the seven guards, and she only needed to make a slight circle to return to the right path.
Since leaving the military department, sometimes she will deliberately avoid the military guards in order to avoid embarrassment, but at this time and place, I don't know if she thinks too much, she always feels a little weird.
The celebration of the ideal city will start in a few days, and the military guards who are still in the outer city have already rushed back to the main city to standby, and the military guards in the city will not go out of the city......
Yuan Xinran thought of a possibility, and the knuckles rubbed unconsciously.
Thinking of Noah's announcement not long ago that he would break off diplomatic relations with Ideal City, and the main city of Maya was inexplicably attacked by Noah, Yuan Xinran thought for more than ten seconds and finally stopped.
There is a half chance that these people are the investigation team that went out secretly to gather information about this series of events.
Yuan happily chose to stay where he was and wait.
"Sorry for the delay, I need to take care of something." Yuan happily explained his actions to Zhong Shang.
If they were really out of town at this time for this reason, she had a lot of important information to refer to.
"It doesn't matter." Zhong Shang bowed his head and said that he didn't need to care.
For the sake of prudence, Yuan happily put on a military guard mask without any code name record, and put on glasses and a hat for Zhong Shang, and made a simple disguise.
Yuan happily believed that the other party had sensed her presence.
After another five or six minutes, the sound of subtle footsteps gradually came.
Yuan Xinran did not hide his existence and power.
The military guards who were approaching had already sensed the power of Yuan Xinran's miracle, and the footsteps were not concealed, getting louder and louder, and after a while, seven people wearing gray-brown cloaks walked into the spatial cave where Yuan Xinran was.
Seven men approached in a defensive wartime formation.
Yuan Xinran sighed, and in order to avoid misunderstanding and conflict, he took the lead in expressing friendship.
She stroked her right hand to her chest, making the standard general etiquette of greetings between military guards.
"It's all about utopia."
Ah conscience, I'm exaggerating again. Yuan Xinran secretly slandered herself.
The seven relaxed and returned as a gesture of friendly courtesy.
"This life is dedicated to utopia."
You are free, I am not happy. Yuan Xinran habitually retorted in his heart.
After the greetings between the soldiers and guards, the atmosphere was slightly calmer.
Like Yuan Xinran, they all wore military guard masks with no numbered records.
Yuan Xinran noticed that one of them was an acquaintance when the seven-person team entered, and she chuckled in her heart, doubting her previous judgment.
This person has not been out of Ideal City for two years, why did he leave at this time? And her abilities are not at all suitable for intelligence gathering.
Yuan Xinran decided to ignore the acquaintance for the time being, and first went to find the leader to say a few words, but he didn't speak yet.
"Teacher? It's a teacher. ”
Standing at the back of the line, the petite young woman that Yuan Xinran was about to ignore walked up quickly.
Now Yuan Xinran wanted to answer, no, no
This acquaintance is the same student she once led.
This student's miraculous abilities are so unique that she can't hide them at all. And even if she denies it now, with her character as a student, to help hide it will only make things worse.
"I said you can't talk about personal matters during the mission, and you still don't remember it."
Still don't look at the atmosphere, your companions behind you want to beat you to death. Yuan Xinran sighed, he really didn't have a job for this student.
"Teacher, I thought I'd never see you again before I left. It's nice to see you again. The girl put her hands on her chest and her voice was excited, "I'm not on a mission, I'm just ......"
She didn't say anything more than she spoke, and simply took off her mask.
The melon seed has a small face, delicate facial features, and simple emotions to the end.
"I'm stupid, I can't speak, but I'm just happy." The girl's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her face was full of smiles, which was sincerely happy.
"Wait, you're not on a mission, but you're out of town at this time?" Yuan Xinran thought about the information revealed in the student's words and felt that something was wrong. Looking at this student carefully, Yuan Xinran felt that she was much thinner than when they met before, and her overall temperament seemed to have undergone some changes.
"Thousand Prisms, it's time to go." One of the guards behind the girl stopped them from continuing the conversation.
Thousand Prisms is the code name for the girl, and the guards will only use the code name during the mission.
Her students just said they weren't on a mission, why did they call her code name? Yuan Xinran felt more and more strange.
"Teacher, it's a rare opportunity, it's better to ......" The girl swallowed back halfway through her words, and she looked behind her as if asking for advice.
The leader shook his head.
Yuan Xinran carefully observed the six guards behind the girl.
If she was not mistaken, there were three people she should have seen at the military headquarters.
This is a regular military guard squad. Compared with the fact that her apprentice has always been unreliable, Yuan Xinran decided to ask the team leader.
The burliest man raised a hand.
"During the mission, there is no personal matter. Thousand Prisms, come back. ”
Qian Prism pursed her lips, looked back timidly, and looked at Yuan Xinran hesitantly, with a struggling look in her eyes. In the end, she didn't say anything, put on her mask, and walked back slowly.
Not only the appearance, but also the movement......
"Wait."
Yuan happily grabbed her student and protected her behind her, standing between the Thousand Prism and the six men.
Damn, she's only finding out now.
"She's pregnant, what kind of bullshit mission are you doing!"
