Chapter 37: The Dungeon
"Clever! We're here! ”
The two got out of the car, and Feng Xinglie took out two prepared earthy gray cloaks from the carriage and handed one to Su Xiaoting. After the two put it on, they covered the hood for Su Xiaoting with great care. After looking up and down, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Follow me~"
When the two came to the edge of the pit, Feng Xinglie couldn't help but say, grabbed Su Xiaoting's waist with one hand, and jumped down towards the pit.
Although the pit seems to be extremely deep, it is not a slope, but a screw-like hole, and each floor has a narrow road that is 1 meter wide to facilitate the passage of vehicles.
Therefore, Su Xiaoting, who was falling quickly, did not feel scared although there was wind in her ears. After falling for more than 100 meters, Feng Xinglie finally stopped, took Su Xiaoting's hand, and walked along this floor for dozens of meters. Until a withered tree trunk sticking out of the stone wall blocked the way.
"It's here!" Feng Xinglie walked around the trunk of the tree, walked to the nearby stone wall, and reached under a small raised stone.
"Wow~" I saw that the stone wall actually opened outward, revealing a black hole.
"This? This can't be an underground lead, right? Su Xiaoting was instinctively a little afraid, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Huh! It's normal, so to speak, that you haven't heard of it. However, you must know about the underground city! Feng Xinglie admired Su Xiaoting's expression with interest, it was really such a vivid little daughter's demeanor that was rarely seen from her face. And......
"What? You're going to take me to the dungeon, isn't it abandoned a long time ago? Su Xiaoting's eyes were wide open, and although she said this, the fire of curiosity in her heart was ignited in an instant.
After all, the ruins of the dungeon are closer to the era in which she lived, and a way of life that is very different from any era of humanity.
However, didn't Zhihai say that the dungeon had long been permanently closed?
Due to the size of the dungeon, the government feared that evil forces would breed here, and after all the humans returned to the surface, all entrances were sealed and all energy supplies were cut off.
As a result, if you want to see the real way of life during the Dark Ages, you can only go to museums to see replica buildings and supplies.
Seeing that Feng Xinglie didn't respond, but just looked at himself a little distractedly, Su Xiaoting raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Are? What are you thinking? ”
"Uh, it's nothing~" Feng Xinglie lowered his eyelashes, and raised his head again and returned to normal.
"Oh, you say that? We'll find out later! Scared? Feng Xinglie stretched out his palm to Su Xiaoting.
Su Xiaoting shook her head, stepped forward and grabbed Feng Xinglie's arm, and said in a cheerful tone. "Don't be afraid, let's go!"
The two walked into the hole, and within a few steps, the stone door behind it closed automatically. The surroundings darkened for a moment, but something seemed to emit a faint glow, allowing them to see the road ahead.
This should be a rough mine cave, only the ground is slightly flat, which can accommodate the two of them walking side by side, Su Xiaoting looked around curiously, and found that there seemed to be some kind of mineral on the cave wall emitting a faint fluorescence, like a galaxy in the dark, colorful, it turned out that this was the natural lighting material in the cave!
Looking at the splendid cave walls all the way, it is not so dull.
Feng Xinglie on the side was reminiscing about the scene just now, because the two had been getting along day and night recently, he gradually discovered that the aurora-like blue light he saw in her eyes was not his own illusion.
He noticed that this happened whenever she was very focused or emotionally excited. The most amazing thing is that he thought that it would only appear at night, but it wasn't until he saw it in the sun just now that he was sure that Su Xiaoting's pupils would change different colors of light with day and night.
During the day, it was the dark golden light that I had just seen, as if I was riding a treasure from the gods. At night, it will turn into a fluorescent blue light, as if a ball of blue energy is circulating. Mysterious and magnificent, dazzling, and making people want to find out.
He couldn't explain the phenomenon, and Xiao Ting herself didn't seem to be aware of it. But fortunately, there are not many such situations in the first place, and the dark gold color during the day is difficult to detect; Most importantly, he believes that with his own ability, he will be able to protect her.
They walked slowly down the cave, and on the way they encountered two three-way intersections, walked for about 7 or 8 minutes, and when they estimated that they had gone about 150 meters underground, they finally came to a slightly spacious cave, which was blocked by a metal wall in front of them.
There was a narrow small door on the wall, and I saw Feng Xinglie step forward and press the button next to the door, and a small drawer immediately popped up under the button.
A moment later, the small iron door opened. Feng Xinglie pulled Su Xiaoting in, and saw a small window on the side behind the door, and a strong man smoking a cigar was sitting inside.
Feng Xinglie swiped the bracelet, received 2 wristbands, asked Su Xiaoting to bring them, and then took her and walked towards the simple hovercar behind.
This cart is very similar to the old minecart, with a simple shape, a railing in the middle, and people can sit on both sides. Feng Xinglie picked up the wristband and swiped it on the front of the car, and the hovercar carried the two of them to the passage inside.
In the narrow passage built with a metal frame, the car finally drove into a relatively wide passage after about 2 minutes.
A sense of old and stale history comes to my face.
The 2 or 3 meters wide metal pavement seemed to be covered with patches, and about 4 meters above the head, the wall lamps on the metal ceiling emitted a faint yellow light.
The road is flanked by what appears to be a recently sealed compartment, and the original metal façade has long been rusted and mottled, while the closed metal plates still retain the cool color of metal.
It's not a narrow metal passage, but it's very depressing!
After driving in such a passage for a while, after turning a corner, suddenly the lights in front of them brightened, and suddenly they entered an empty underground world.
It is an underground square with a long axis of about 150 meters, a short axis of 100 meters, and a height of about 20 meters.
The plaza is basically separated by a metal façade and supported by 6 steel pillars.
The most striking is located at the back of the square, a circular open-air building that resembles a gymnasium. Most of the bright light here comes from the coloured light curtains of the stadium's circular façade and the white pillars of light that rotate in the middle of the stadium, making this futuristic building look strange in a reddish-brown metal world.
Around the square, you can also see many high-rise buildings and pedestrians. There are also several junctions in each direction that lead to other areas of the dungeon.
At this time, the hovercar had automatically parked in the fixed parking space in the center of the square, Su Xiaoting eagerly jumped out of the car, and turned around twice in place, excited and didn't know where to visit.
"Xiaoting, don't run around later, there is no signal here, but this identification bracelet can communicate, as long as you dial the other party's identification code, you can talk!" After that, Feng Xinglie demonstrated it in person.
"Got it, Lie, I'll follow you!" It's not a joke here, and it doesn't look like a regular place. But to get a glimpse of the dungeon, it's worth the risk.
"Xiaoting, the surprise I prepared today is not actually a visit to the ruins, but a special program here - gladiatorial fighting. However, since we are here, we might as well visit it before the show starts. Seeing Su Xiaoting's happy look, she said thoughtfully and thoughtfully.
"Gladiatorial fights? It's enough to be surprised to be here, you are really a good teacher for me. "The thought of being able to watch a fight in the ruins of a dungeon is a rare experience! Su Xiaoting couldn't be more satisfied with such an arrangement~
"Hehe~ Then you have to think about how to thank me!" Feng Xinglie joked, and began to take Su Xiaoting to visit the buildings around the square, and explained while touring.
