Chapter 54: Marcel's Ambition
Xiao Ye turned to look at everyone, his eyes gloomy: "Just before entering the Akanster continent, a major breakthrough in quantum technology was made, and the jump engine was successfully developed. This incident changed General Hatcher's mind and changed the course of history. ”
"The elves established a large expeditionary force base in the underground of Marcel, and the advance party was also known as the expeditionary force from then on. General Hatcher has set a crazy goal - to enter outer space. ”
"A few years later, the expeditionary base became the end of Marcel's elven history, and I have been dormant for more than a thousand years since then......" she said slowly, looking at the starry sky in the distance.
"The end of Marcel's elven history? Felder muttered as he walked to the edge of the ribbon of light, jumped down, and vanished.
In 1069 BCE, humans must have been fighting against dragons on the continent of Akanster, and the elves of Marcel wanted to conquer the stars. But how did Marcel disappear in just a few years? Wayne had a stomach full of doubts, and it seemed that he could only experience that full-sense technique again.
When Vane looked at his surroundings again, he found himself standing in an underground space made of steel. It is unusually wide, more than 100 meters in length and width, and a huge skylight has been opened at the top. It was the middle of the night, and the deep sky outside the skylight was full of stars, but the underground space was brightly lit.
There were a lot of strangely dressed elves, probably dozens of men and women, talking to each other, but without exception their faces were full of excitement.
"The Chenxing-2 spacecraft is approaching Rolayer and is expected to enter the atmosphere in thirty seconds. A loud voice echoed through the underground space.
"Didn't Chenxing 2 go missing a few days ago?" asked a woman nearby.
"Your message is long outdated, but I don't blame you, only the staff at the command center know about it. The man proudly sold a pass, paused for a moment, and saw that the woman did not mean to answer, so he had to continue: "Actually, communication between No. 2 was restored on the day it was lost, and it was located more than 30,000 light-years away in the second spiral arm, but it was just ......."
"But what?" the woman asked, a little impatient in her tone.
"There has been no response from the second side, and it can be seen from the signal that it is starting to jump, and is returning to Roraiyah in full force. There was a hint of confusion in the man's voice. "Maybe there's something wrong with the communication system. He added.
"Didn't you respond to this day?"
"Until just now. ”
"Attention of all groups, the Chenxing-2 jump spacecraft has entered the atmosphere and is expected to land on the No. 1 ping in twenty seconds. The voice of the report echoed in the empty No. 1 ping.
Soon there was a rumbling sound and it became louder and louder. Strong currents poured in from the skylights, blowing the elves' clothes and hair around. A steel battleship with a white body roared and slowly landed in the first cabin.
The air flow subsided, the flashing lights went out one after another, and the entire ship was like a steel beast that had quieted down.
The surroundings were lively, and several cases of beer in glass bottles were brought next to me at some point. "Let's go, let's go and welcome our heroes. The man seemed to be in a good mood, holding two bottles of beer and walking with the crowd towards the ship.
"Wow......" The hatch of the steel beast slowly opened, and an elf in a white spacesuit stepped out of it. He walked slowly down the gangway with his side facing the crowd, looking a little stiff. Strangely, the transparent hood turned white, making it impossible to see who it was.
The crowd had already reached the gangway.
The man turned his head, and there was a round black spot in the middle of the white hood, and in the middle of it was a vertical dark yellow slit.
The people in front of them froze in place with beer bottles in their hands. It wasn't a hood at all, it was a huge eyeball! the eyeball detached from the body, or rather, let go of the corpse and flew towards the crowd.
The beer bottles shattered to the ground, and the crowd screamed and fled towards the exit as if they had exploded. More eyeballs flew out of the hatch, and they had no intention of attacking, just flying in all directions.
There are three heavy alloy lift gates on the No. 1 Flat, all of which are controlled by magic energy, and only the middle door is open at this time. Some of the elves had already run to the gate, but fate had doomed it to be in vain.
A dark green tentacle the size of a bucket stretched out from the hatch of the ship, and the tentacle was extremely long and fast as lightning, and in an instant it had caught up with the elf running in front of it. The tentacle tip easily pierced the back of an elf, a slimy clear liquid mixed with blood running down the ground. More tentacles stretched out from the hatch, cries, cries for help, limbs all over the ground, internal organs flying, and the No. 1 ping was like hell on earth......
Vane was about to vomit, when the surroundings became blurry. Soon he heard Felder's voice.
"It's disgusting, I almost threw up!" Felder stroked back and forth across his chest. Eth was hunched over and vomiting as Elena patted her back.
"Sorry for forgetting to warn you that there may be an uncomfortable image. Sayo said apologetically. She sighed and continued, "I saw the whole thing with my own eyes, and the images felt like they happened yesterday to me. Her eyes turned red as she spoke.
The crowd was silent. "Unprepared, the demon killed everyone in the expeditionary force base, and I tried everything I could to stop it, but in the end Marcel was destroyed, and the whole city sank into the ground......," she said, sobbing.
"We've seen that demon, right outside in the lake. Vane said in a deep voice. He didn't want to believe it, but there was no doubt that the demon that had destroyed Marcel was the same monster they had seen by the underground lake, and those eyeballs might be the demon's eyes that they used to spy on.
A trace of horror flashed across Xiao Ye's face: "I didn't expect this demon to be alive after so long......." She wiped her tears and her expression became serious: "You must find a way to get rid of it, it does not belong to Rolaier." ”
Everyone nodded, but they looked a little dazed. Kill that demon? the monster that killed all the expeditionary forces and destroyed a city......
"There's one more thing I need your help with – destroying the central control room. ”
"Then you're not going to die...... Is it gone?" said Felder in surprise.
Xiao Ye smiled and said, "When you go back, you can make this history public and let the world remember it, and my mission will be completed." It's just that this central control room holds too many secrets about elven technology, and if discovered, it could bring disaster to the world again. ”
"So, destroy it. She seemed relieved to say this.
As soon as the words fell, the darkness disappeared, the stars disappeared, and everyone stood in an unusually large room. The ground beneath his feet was flat and hard, made of unknown materials, overhead was densely covered with complex metal pipes, and around him were rows of steel machines, covering most of the room, humming and flashing lights, and the light and shadow of the otherwise dark hall flowing.
Everyone was surprised, where is this?
"This is the central control room, and all you are starting to see is the effect of the magic array. Xiao Ye saw their doubts and explained thoughtfully.
The crowd found the "obelisk" near the door. It was a machine that looked like an obelisk, smooth and flat on all sides, with strange writing displayed on it.
"By the way, this thing is for you. "A black stone floated in front of the group, two fist-sized ones, and it looked a little rough. "This is the material that Chenxing-1 brought back from the distant starry sky before, and it may be helpful to you. ”
"Goodbye, friends. ”
The lights of the surrounding machines began to go out continuously, and the elf girl in the white dress began to blur and flicker, but the corners of her smiling mouth were like stars in the sky.
Vane held the stone in his hand, and it was unexpectedly heavy.
