The slight sound of bones clashing became clearer and clearer as the distance approached, accompanied by the characteristic grinding sound of a few metal weapons dragging along the old and broken ground, and the two red lights that belonged to the black bone skeleton that had appeared in the eye sockets countless times then appeared in the dim darkness at the end of the room with a swaying trajectory, and poked his head straight into the door: "Hiss-"

“……”

Unlike the hissing of the skeleton that seemed to be patrolling here, the breath belonging to this room seemed to be extremely quiet at this time, and the movements of the skeleton, which was a little confused, then became blurred and hesitant because of the result in front of him, as if some kind of existence he had just perceived had disappeared out of thin air at this time. The legs and feet, which were missing some of the knuckles, then stepped into the room with the slight sound of bones clashing, and the skeleton's body then began to look briefly at the background of the sound of other bones behind it, and the long, rusty blade in the palm of its severed knuckle was now turning towards every corner of the room again and again in its constant motion.

Click, click.

Fallen counters, spilled IV bags, garbage pipes piled up in the corners, and metal stands that fell to the ground due to rust...... Like a hunter looking for prey in the dark night, the red light in the eyes of the black bone skeleton kept sweeping over these messy positions, and the metal blade held in the bone hand seemed to reflect the state of the skeleton at this time, and kept trembling slightly on the trajectory of the black figure's shaking. However, things did not seem to continue as it expected, and the weapon that shook between the dim magical lights was not stained with new blood as it longed, and even the blue-purple light flashed in front of the black bone skeleton, and the magical light with obvious reflections also emitted an obvious interplay of light and shadow on the surface of its body, and the black bone skeleton did not raise its blade again: "...... Call. ”

"This kind of adventure that is so close at hand, I don't want to go through it again in my life."

The blade finally led the other party's figure and slowly left in the direction it came, gradually merging with the countless sounds of bones colliding that were flowing outside the room, and the blue-purple light shrouded in the corner of the room then slowly descended in a whisper that sounded quietly, and at the same time appeared the soft sigh of the white-haired woman who was wrapped in it before: "If that guy really came over, this simple trick should be broken with a poke...... Feed! Where do you put your hands? ”

"That's, that'...... It's just that the corner is too narrow. Duan Qing, who was a little helpless and let go of the arm that was squeezing the other party's body in front of him, and subconsciously retreated a little, and then hurriedly lowered his voice again: "But this is also where we can use it for experiments - the IQ level of these skeletons is really low enough." ”

"I've already stressed that we can't think of ourselves as test subjects." So Xue Lingphantom Ice once again let out a slight complaint: "In such a dangerous situation, as long as we are not careful, the two of us cripples will almost face a mortal situation." ”

"It's okay, it's not going to be worse than it is now." Gently tapping the wound on his shoulder that was still bruised, Duan Qing showed a bitter smile at the other party: "Since both horizontal and vertical are going to die, then it is better to give it a try." ”

"Thankfully, this cube of yours is still more effective, and you have deceived this undead creature in the past." Looking at the appearance of the cube that was spinning on the ancient disc that was emitting light in Duan Qing's hand at this time, Xue Lingphantom Ice didn't retract his gaze for a long time: "If it weren't for the fact that I had successfully tried it before, I wouldn't agree to take another risk in this way...... How long will this thing last? ”

"I don't know." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who was also sticking out his head, glanced inside and outside the room that had become empty again: "But since we took this thing out of the Wind Ruins, I haven't studied it carefully, let alone using and consuming energy...... No. ”

"Judging by the way it works now, this thing probably hasn't been depleted at all." Muttering these words, the gray-robed magician's gaze began to darken: "If it absorbs enough energy, it may absorb even more." ”

"Stop! You let go of your curiosity first! Pulling Duan Qing out of a certain contemplative state in a low voice, Xue Ling's pale face seemed to be flushed with urgency: "If you want to study it, I'll talk about it later!" Let's find a way to get through the current crisis! ”

"Crisis? Isn't the crisis over? Pulling the corners of his mouth a little helplessly, Duan Qing gestured in the direction that the black bone skeleton had just left: "As long as we don't make any strange moves and attract those patrols outside the door, we should have passed this level." ”

"What drew them to this place?" Naturally, such a question was raised, and Xue Ling's brows furrowed slightly: "Or why are they everywhere?" When did they get to this place? ”

"Since this is a place where underground undead creatures can spawn, there is a possibility of 'refreshing' such monsters in any dark place that we can't see." Given such an answer, Duan Qing's gaze began to wander continuously: "As for why they were attracted here-"

As he said this, his wandering gaze fell on the chain that was lying quietly on the floor in the corner of the room, and the sound of wanting to speak again was broken by a loud bang from outside the door, followed by the sound of countless bullets pouring between the rock and soil of the wall and cutting the bones with metal sharp objects: "...... Sorry visitors. ”

"I'm late."

The battle that broke out in an instant also ended quickly in a very short period of time, and the body belonging to Kyle II who had returned here at some point also appeared in front of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing: "You don't seem to have encountered those threatening attacks. ”

"I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." Putting away his rather agitated mood, Duan Qing, who put away his aura mask, walked out of the corner of the wall of this room with a smile: "Did you find what you were looking for?" ”

"The repair of the power line wasn't quite over, but I sensed the threat was approaching, so I changed my itinerary temporarily." The tall body made a heavy vibration on the ground, and the figure of Kyle II then came to Duan Qing and them with the mechanical arm that put away his weapon: "Since you didn't have an accident, my trip was not in vain. ”

"It's a bit of a thrilling process, but we can handle it." Waving his hand gently, Duan Qing then pulled out a pretended relaxed smile at the other party: "It's that the matter over your side is a little more important, otherwise the two of us may have to stay in this half-dead state all the time." ”

"It doesn't matter, even if the repair is not complete, it is still possible to achieve some of the power provided." Kyle II, who answered him, turned and gestured in the direction he had come: "As long as there is a part of the energy that can be restored—"

"The devices used to restore your vital signs have a chance to be used."

Without too much explanation and hesitation, the tall black metal back figure then turned around and left in that direction with heavier steps, Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantasm, who had been looking at each other for a moment, and then with their own hesitation, they also stepped over the bone fragments and corpse remains on the ground, and followed the other party's departing footsteps and disappeared into the darkness of the passage together. Before leaving, the gray-robed magician also glanced in the direction of the chain left on the ground, and the feeling of hesitation was then accompanied by the puzzled sound of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and shook beyond his shaking movement: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, the value of that chain should be figured out by us, and there is no point in carrying it again."

"With its only meaning, it should be to ask Shi Ayun in person, but now that he has run to nowhere...... Hmm, do we need to wait for him to come back? Or leave him a message? ”

"No, we don't have much energy to keep an eye on him now, if he still has the heart and strength to take care of our life and death, he will naturally have a way to catch up with us."

The quiet passage composed of metal walls only echoed for a while only the heavy footsteps of Kyle II and the whispered discussion of Duan Qing and the others, and the pace of moving forward did not know how many detours were turned by the guidance of the passage, and the broken magic lights carved on the wall also extended towards the unknown front of the two players along with the intermittent magic loop. From the traces of circuit destruction and seemingly endless scratches on these walls, he sensed a certain possibility, and the gossip belonging to Duan Qing became less and less with the passage of time, and he reached out from time to time to touch the sections of those magic circuits and the notches all over the walls, and the speed of his progress slowed down a little: "-The possibility of repair is indeed very low." ”

"Probably all the undead." The voice that answered him was the voice of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who had also been silent for a long time: "Since it is something that refreshes everywhere, it is not difficult for them to completely destroy this place. ”

"If they're with their own kind, they shouldn't be so aggressive and destructive." Shaking his head, Duan Qing's rather serious gaze also fell on the front of the passage: "The chain before the combination...... Maybe there were people who broke into this place and started a fight. ”

"Aren't there any more records that can be observed? For example, monitoring devices like the one before. Raising his head and searching in the dim passage for a while, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then shifted his attention to the front: "Hey, Kyle II, is there anything like surveillance equipment in this passage?" ”

"Didn't find the equipment you needed."

A green scanning glow then flashed in front of Kyle II, accompanied by its characteristic synthesized voice, "The emergency backup tunnel didn't have the necessary monitoring facilities in the original laboratory design, so it's perfectly normal that there isn't one here." ”

"Emergency access? Are we on the emergency route now? So Duan Qing's eyebrows also raised: "Why don't you take the normal passage that may have monitoring facilities?" ”

"Because it's more dangerous over there." The plain voice revealed a natural meaning, and Kyle II, who was leading the way, said without looking back: "In order to maintain your safety, we should naturally choose the less dangerous route. ”

"Well, I wouldn't object to that." Spreading his hands, Duan Qing then put away his skeptical gaze: "But if possible, I would like to find some other video materials, preferably records related to the final destruction of this underground laboratory thousands of years ago......"

"That's exactly what I wanted."

Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Kyle II's voice finally appeared a little muffled in his reply: "Judging from the recorded information you provided earlier, it is obvious that there is an urgent matter that I cannot foresee in the underground core area, and the changes here and many of the reasons for the changes may not be entirely caused by the loss of time. ”

"But I don't believe in my production ...... Those of the same kind who are responsible for guarding this place will easily violate the protocol. It pauses for a moment, then suddenly re-emphasises as if remembering something, "I'll look for a reason to get them back on track." ”

"Hopefully everything will go well." It seems that he has tried to persuade the tall black back in front of him to say what he said at this time, Duan Qing also put away his desire to continue persuading: "But if possible, I also hope to share those records along the way with us, we also have a lot of things we want to understand." ”

"Of course, that's what I'm supposed to do." Without stopping his steps, Kyle II's footsteps across the end of the passage in front of him also stopped in mid-air where the dim light suddenly became apparent: "Here we are." ”

"These are the medical capsules."

In the midst of the dusty aura and the faint whining of the wind, it pointed to the row of square metal cabins in the corner of the new hall that appeared in front of Duan Qing and the two of them, and raised its mechanical arm calmly.

"Wait a minute, they'll be ready to use right away."
