Chapter 8 20,000 meters underground
Shihu City, 20,000 meters underground.
This is an absolutely unexpected underground world, with no darkness that you can't reach, no unbearable weirdness, and no terrible abyss.
It's a giant city shrouded in light.
The huge city edge is surrounded by towering walls, which stretches endlessly. Divide the inside and outside of the city into two distinct worlds. Due to its sheer size, the city has nearly a hundred tall gates, but even so, there are still places that are far from any of the exits. Outside the city gate is a series of lifting platforms full of futuristic technology, directly connected to the ground, and inside the city gate, there is an electronic warning device. Once these alerts are triggered, they will be greeted by untold artillery fire.
Further into the city, there are small defensive fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their special building materials with a metallic sheen can ensure the safety of fighters in the face of nuclear-level attacks. And beyond this line of fire, the normal urban structure appears in front of you.
It's more of a war fortress than a city, an impregnable war fortress.
At noon in the underground world, a light flashed outside a certain city gate, and then six figures with different characteristics passed over those cold automatic weapons one by one and went straight to the depths of the city.
They were fast, even if it seemed like they were just going out for a walk, and the buildings around them were thrown around them in a flash.
As the six of them got closer to the center of the city, the scale of the buildings became larger and the style became more and more standardized, but it was a hierarchical underground world.
"See the Six Chiefs." Liao waited in front of the door for a long time, and when he finally saw the person he was waiting for, he immediately took off his hat and saluted.
"Uh, you've been waiting for a long time...... "Among the chief disciples, a man in a dark purple costume stood out, looking a few years older than Liao.
"As soon as I received your message, I rushed back, Chief Zihui." Liao said respectfully again, at this time, there was no Zhang Yang and uninhibited Zhang Yang in his eyes when he was alone, and all that was left was respect.
"Well, it's good to come back. There's important news to announce about this mission, so come with us. Zihui nodded, and then the six chief disciples walked into the pavilion behind Liao in unison, and walked to a heavily guarded room with only a round table inside.
It's a conference room again.
Everyone was in their place, and Liao stood respectfully not far behind Zihui. A three-dimensional avatar immediately floated in the center of the round table.
"Athena, please connect to the channels of all the core members." Zihui said.
"As you wish, Chief Doumen." The avatar in the center of the round table bowed slightly, and it turned out to be the avatar of the intelligent AI Athena.
As soon as Athena's words fell, a blue electronic screen floated in front of each of the six chiefs, and the six raised their right hands to seal it. Then, Athena began a series of analogue sounds.
"The chief identity verification of the Yin and Yang Department has passed."
"Doumen Chief Identity Verification Passed."
"The chief identity verification of the array gate has passed."
"The chief identity verification of the Tianji Department has passed."
"Huafang Chief Identity Verification Passed."
"Mido's chief identity verification passed."
"The public channel of all core members was successfully opened urgently!"
The burly chief disciple sighed under his breath before speaking.
"Dear UAF partners, it is unfortunate to announce a message to you. The underground of Stone Lake was mostly discovered by those monsters, and our acting executive disappeared unexpectedly in the course of his mission. In the coming period, Shihu will face an unprecedented threat. ”
"Now I declare an urgent mission." Yue Linxi, the chief of the flower workshop, said: "All the core disciples immediately return to Shihu City and give up all the tasks they are performing. ”
"Don't let those monsters affect the real world."
Hearing a series of urgent orders from the chiefs, Liao was shocked for a moment, and then involuntarily remembered that silly and cute girl in his mind.
"Chief Zihui, what about our newcomers?"
"Newcomer? …… Didn't I tell you to bring it back with me!? Zihui was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a "poof" and stared at Liao with wide eyes.
“…… There is nothing in your message mentioning our newcomers. Liao replied weakly.
"So, the newcomer is still alone in the stone lake surrounded by monsters?" Yue Linxi frowned, "Oh, there's also a Liuchuan-level free man." ”
"Those monsters are very interested in the newly awakened Abilities." Zihui grabbed his hair and stopped Liao, who was about to leave the conference room. "We can't get out now, the ground is blocked by monsters when we come back, and once someone leaves or enters, our base will be completely exposed to the eyes of those monsters."
"What about the newcomers? Whatever? A hint of anxiety flashed in Liao's eyes, and he forgot to take care of etiquette at this time.
"The six executives are gone, the acting executives are missing, and now we are the only ones who can make decisions. We cannot allow any possible danger to the base. Some cold voices came from the mouth of the chief disciple of the Yin and Yang Division, Yue Linxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after listening to the words of the Yin and Yang Chief, she only sighed.
Silence once again enveloped the room, and everyone could be heard breathing. I don't know how long it took for Liao to leave in despair, leaving the decision to the six most powerful people here.
……
……
Shihu City, Shihu University.
Qingxue and Shan Xin packed up their bedroom before dark, and it was enough to buy some necessary daily necessities. While looking forward to their future college life, they miss Bailing Mountain, which has just left.
Today's night seems to be particularly gloomy.
