Chapter 378: There's a Universe Inside

The air in the ventilation duct was okay, after all, the ventilation facilities had been activated before Barrett and the others came.

The grinding sound of a ventilation fan was heard in his ears, and Barrett crawled forward along the ventilation tunnel.

He wasn't looking for directions, and although he didn't find any traces of people within his perceptual range, he was able to sense the tracks of small animals.

Activity in various passages of small creatures, rats, cockroaches, and even snakes.

These things don't say anything directly, but they can find clues that might be left behind.

After all, they can't survive in a place where there is no food at all.

Feeling the direction of these little things, Barrett felt that there was a play.

Because the extent of these ventilation ducts is much larger than the space that can be seen.

All the way down the ventilation tunnel, Barrett approached the first position he felt was possible.

Carefully removing the grille of the ventilation duct, he reached out and pulled away a spider that had climbed on top of him.

It was pitch black down there, but it couldn't stop him.

This is the place where the factory is located, but this place has also been found by Juntian's people.

The security door against the wall was cut open with a cutter.

"These people have a really good ability to be brute-forced." Walking into the door, Barrett found that the outside was not open, and the outside was a metal wall.

Is it blocked with a box? Barrett sneered.

The guys didn't seem to want Barrett to find a clue, and just then, the headphones rang in their ears.

"Did the wound feel uncomfortable? Be careful, something calls me. Hanyu's voice came through the headphones.

"Understood, I understood." Barrett replied, knowing what Hanyu meant.

There was a tracker inside the wound on his shoulder, which he knew, and it was likely that the man was outside.

Now the bunch is waiting for him to find the hidden space.

But he wasn't too worried, because he thought he could hide it from the beginning.

These people are not stupid at all, they want information and data, and Barrett needs that.

It was useless for him to know that Juntian wanted to come, and what he was looking for was something that only he knew.

Now that the room had been searched by Juntian's people, Barrett decided to go deeper.

Soon, he found another clue.

The pumping system was no longer functional, but he found another core generator.

On the other side of the wall he could hear the sound of water, a place he was all too familiar with, as he had seen the same design inside the mines.

Tapping on the wall, he tried to find the weak spot in the wall.

Perhaps because the ventilation system was working, filtered water was spilling down the ruptured pipes.

According to the time calculation, it has been two days since the Dragon Eagle team arrived here, and in these two days, it is impossible to say how much water has accumulated on the opposite side.

Back next to the core generator, Barrett opened the filling slot, and sure enough, there was no core inside.

Walking around the wall, he didn't find any repair tools.

Looking up at the lamp overhead, Barrett was surprised to find that the lamp had been shattered by a weapon, not because there was no electricity.

In other words, Juntian's people found this room, but they didn't continue to look for it.

Wait, maybe they didn't look for it, but they deliberately hid something.

Barrett returned to the ventilation duct and he moved in a different direction.

He couldn't go any further in the direction he had just now, because there was a ventilation shaft in front of him, from which he could lead to the room across the wall, but the high-speed rotating ventilation fan was not going to let him pass.

Heading down the ventilation duct to the left, Barrett soon found another air outlet.

This room is a storage room.

After a closer examination of the goods, Barrett found that the goods were nothing else, but a large amount of metal.

That's right, a metal strip that has been refined and purified and then melted and cast.

It is about a meter long and short, and about thirty centimeters wide.

It's not anything like a plate, it's just an additive, added to a strong acid or a furnace.

The standards are uniform, and even the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

The fingers caress over the metal, the surface is smooth, even polished.

Wait, Barrett touched the word.

This is the engraving on the metal strip.

"Electrolux? Engraving of a mining company. Touching down the pattern, Barrett found a name that he was somewhat familiar with.

"Bachro?" Bachro Group?? Barrett was stunned, of course he hadn't forgotten the name, that's what Bath's group called!

Does this have something to do with Bath?? Barrett reached for it and rummaged through his pockets, he needed accurate confirmation.

It was a reversal of his perception.

In his mind, it should be the government army, or some other subordinate unit of a large group, otherwise Electrolux would not risk getting involved in the war to transport metal to it.

But the government army at that time should have been in the hands of the six major families, right? He even fantasized that it had something to do with the Abanese family.

Otherwise, why did the Frosters also adopt Plan X?

Although this Plan X is not the same as the other Plan X.

Carefully examining the engravings on the metal strip with a flashlight, Barrett did find the name Bachero.

Connected to it is the name of the Sandra coalition government.

Sure enough, they belong to the government army, but they are enterprises affiliated with Bagello.

Thinking carefully about the cause and effect, Barrett seemed to figure out something, but soon felt that something was wrong.

If the Bachro Group has existed for a long time, why does no one in Frost know? When Bass rose to prominence, he was greeted with appreciative voices, because he was an absolute example of a self-made man, the highest achiever of all civilians.

But the strange thing is that there was a company like Bagelo at this time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Barrett put the thought aside for a while, and he tried to find something useful.

Suppress the excitement in your heart, it's really exciting!

He finally found a clue, although it was very vague, but at least it gave him hope.

The next step is to look for decay cores, or passages that can be rounded to the other side.

Walking inside the storeroom where the metal bars were kept, he gradually came to the end of the room.

There's a conveyor belt here, though it's completely unusable right now.

The probe took a look at the conveyor belt, and there was a black hole inside, and the flashlight couldn't shine to the end.

Barrett thought for a few seconds and crawled down the conveyor belt inside.

It was a passage more than 100 meters long, with no access on either side, and Barrett could feel that the direction was stretching diagonally.

It's not a big angle, but it's really going down.

Just as Barrett was about to come to the end, there was a chill from under his ribs, and the slime was alive!

Although he didn't know what was going on, he tried to lift the dust curtain on the conveyor belt.

Very heavy, the dust curtain is cut and arranged with about an inch thick of rubber.

Their function is to reduce the flight of gases and dust and prevent dust from escaping.

There are also two curtains on the way here.

Although his strength has been strengthened, this thing is afraid that it weighs hundreds of kilograms, especially the dust curtain on the inside, perhaps because of the long period of time, the appearance has been crystallized by dust.

The large curtains were knotted together, and they were much more difficult to deal with than the ones outside.

Half-crouched on the conveyor belt, Barrett pushed hard with both arms.

Gradually, the curtain was lifted by him, and the situation inside the curtain was revealed.

Just as he smiled a little, there was a wave of weakness under his feet!

It turns out that where he is now is in mid-air!

The very badly corroded conveyor belt struggled for a few seconds with a final groan before collapsing.

Barrett grabbed the dust curtain with his hand and was suspended in mid-air.

There was a hollow underneath his feet, and he heard the sound of liquid underneath, as he heard the pop of the conveyor belt falling into the water.

"Damn, that's embarrassing!" There was nowhere to get a hand, and Barrett tried, trying to turn to the other side, but without success.

As soon as his hand grabbed the dust curtain on the right, he slipped violently, and the crystals on it burst open.

Barrett felt a shock in his body, and he fell down the crystal.

Although he tried to adjust his posture, he still couldn't change his falling state, and around him was a beveled wall that contracted inward, and strangely enough, the walls were full of crystals.

In just a few seconds, he couldn't think much about it, and Barrett fell into the liquid.

The moment he fell to the surface, Barrett felt like he couldn't breathe!

He kicked his legs again and again, and rushed upward.

But he soon discovered that even with his head out of the water, he still couldn't breathe.

Something completely blocked his breathing and vision, and he couldn't even open his mouth......

It's weird! Is it a glue with strong stickiness? Struggling up the slope of the outer wall next to him, Barrett finally left the water.

The moment he left the water, Barrett's strange sight, his ability to breathe and speak was immediately restored.

He felt it, it was the slime, and it left his head.

No, it is not accurate to say that, not leaving the head, but returning from various parts of the body to his ribs.

Barrett turned to look into the water, only to find something sad, he was now completely naked, and everything on his body was gone, including the headphones on his ears.

"It's ............" he's seen this happen, fuck this pool is full of nano tools!!

Crouching down, Barrett tried to touch the water with his fingers, but immediately noticed that the lump of mucus under his ribs was moving towards his fingers and seeping into the skin to form a thin film.

It turned out that it had protected itself, Barrett thought with great rejoicing.

Finger back, the gadget is gone.

"Looks like you're not in league with them, huh?" Spitting, Barrett looked for a way to get out of here.

I didn't expect that this is a puddle of nano tools, what is it used for?

Thinking of those metal bars outside, is this the place where nanotools are kept? Barrett guessed.

Could it be that nanotools reproduce by breaking down these metals?

But he saw with his own eyes that the sapient red slime out there was reproducing by devouring life.

It's very paradoxical, could it be that the slime mass is an evolved nanotool?

He didn't know.

Holding his hand on the extension of the wall, Barrett walked towards it, and soon he reached the top of the beveled wall.

Further up, there is a cylindrical straight patio, and it is impossible to go up again.

Trying to find a place to settle on the wall, Barrett reached out and plucked the crystals outside.

Looking at the exposed metal walls inside, Barrett finally understood that the entire tank was metal............

"Weird, isn't metal going to be devoured?" Although he could not see the luster or color of the metal, he discovered one thing through his touch, and that was that the metal was not the same as the metal bar he found on it, and the metal was actually some kind of clay mixed with metal.

That is, it is a clay with a metallic component, not a complete metallic component.

But the degree of metallization is so high that the feel of this thing is completely metallic.

Liquid metal composition?? Although he didn't learn this thing, the few months he spent in Cluane had taught him a lot about it from Dr. Shin Guang.

"Oh my God! Such a large production?? Barrett was stunned, he had heard Dr. Shin Kwang say that the conditions for the production of liquid metal compositions were extremely harsh, requiring very high furnaces, and even the temperature of fusion cores.

But he never knew there was such advanced technology on Earth!

I'm afraid that Bertoluta doesn't have such an awesome electrolytic furnace.

This obviously requires a cracking furnace to enter the smelting!

It wouldn't be surprising if the blind cat came across a dead mouse digging out of the ruins, but the patio more than 100 meters high was entirely made of this kind of thing, and it was not known how deep it was underneath.

I have to say that this is completely beyond Barrett's imagination.

"How can this Bachro have such great power??" Barrett's first thought was, what secrets does Bagelo have in the end?

Is that Bachro in Bath connected to this? Could it be that it's just the same name?

Just when he was thinking wildly, he didn't realize that the water that had been avoided by him was actually moving, and a stream of water was approaching him in a very strange way.

It was the little thing under his ribs that alerted him.

There was a cold touch under his feet, and he looked down to see that the trail of water was clustered around his feet, but he couldn't get an inch.

Even the leg hair on his calves couldn't be plucked out.

Saved by it again.

Barrett was a little glad, though he didn't know why the otherwise calm and waveless nanotools had once again shown their human qualities, but they didn't succeed.

The problem is that he can't avoid it now.

It is impossible to go any further, the vertical cliff-like walls above cannot be climbed, and there is nothing to draw on.

Soon, the surface of the water changed again, and they actually formed a ball in the air, but there was a very thin column of water connected to the surface of the water under the ball, creating this fantastic scene.

Barrett could sense the current under his feet trying to push him through.

"You want to get close to me?" Barrett asked, curiously, he could feel its thoughts.

It's just that the small ball of slime under his feet desperately fights against the current, and he realizes that this is not a good choice.

Soon, the sphere on the surface of the water changed again, turning into a .................. Person!

It's really people.

Spreading out from a curled position, it does become a person, a woman............ The shape! 10
