Chapter 17: The Heart of the Relic by the Timebringer

"Huh? How do you know my name, can't I be so famous in Los Angeles, hehe. "Looking at this honest little fat man, I laughed out loud, isn't this the fool in my dream.

"Du Fei, do you know me?" I looked at him jokingly.

"Who are you, I've always been in the lab, I haven't gone out to meet many people, most of them are colleagues." The little fat man looked at me with a puzzled expression.

My time has long been affected by dreams, so I can't figure out how many acquaintances come out now, but Du Fei's appearance as a scientific researcher really makes me laugh.

Bai Ming coughed twice, stood forward and began to arrange tasks, she looked around and said to everyone: "This time our main target is the energy body, as long as we get the energy body, no matter what we encounter, we must retreat quickly." In this, Lobo's team had detected an unknown lifeform, and we couldn't define it, so J and Du Fei walked behind, and Z and I were in the middle of the team, and there would be a new type of reconnaissance armor in front of them for pioneer work. My thoughts are the same as J's, this operation is full of unknowns, and we don't have any coping strategies other than moving forward. ”

I lowered my head and asked Shaoxun, "You don't have a combat suit, is there really no problem?" ”

Shaoxun slapped me on the back of the head: "What do you think! ”

Soon the two old men were gone, leaving the young men ready for work, and the combat uniforms lent to me were soon brought by two staff members. I was angry, but Bai Ming was willing to lend me his battle suit, and his heart was still full of gratitude.

Bai Ming has been wearing a combat uniform from beginning to end, none of us have seen her true face, and her arrogant personality is destined to plan for the overall situation. She walked over to us and said to Shaoxun, who was resting, "I'm sorry, I didn't succeed in applying for a combat suit, the organization agreed that your rating criteria are too unstable, and no matter how much I emphasize the danger of this operation and the safety of your life, the alliance will not allow you to obtain any weapons, not even power equipment." ”

Shaoxun nodded: "I understand, so I blocked the path, he is not sensible." I won't let the Bai family be embarrassed in the capital, even if it is my own decision to die this time, that woman is worth exchanging my life for me, if I really die in it, I will have to trouble Xiaolu to help me achieve it. ”

At this moment, I understand the current situation, it seems that I really have bad intentions for Bai Ming and the Bai family, including when we first met.

Bai Ming nodded: "After the mission is over, I will give you the documents in the capital, this is also the alliance's promise to the Bai family, there is a set of armor here, it is a little old, but it can be used for self-defense, and you wear it on your body more or less to protect yourself." ”

Shaoxun thanked him, and the staff brought another set of mecha suits, which did not look bloated after wearing them, but because it was a product of the previous era, it would affect the normal action of the human body to some extent, I looked at Bai Ming's figure and shouted: "Thank you!" Bai Ming, I owe you this time. Bai Ming paused, looked back at me meaningfully, and walked out of the command base.

Outside, the alarm has sounded, and the staff has been evacuated from the ground one after another. Hearing a loud noise, everyone knew that the door that was closed the secret had been opened, Shao Xun simply put on a set of protective armor for ordinary staff members, put on a round helmet, patted me and said, "Let's go, happy cooperation." ”

This kind gesture reminds me of the old days, when the enthusiastic captain, the mixed team, and a group of unrelated people came together for fate, for livelihood, for career, for family, for all kinds of beliefs, to complete impossible secrets.

Bai Ming and I are obviously the best standing force in this team, and the two of them are wearing white combat uniforms with the world's top technology. We walked in the middle of the ranks, in front of which were four of the most heavily defended reconnaissance armors, more than 2 meters high. At the tail are Shao Xun and Du Fei, who are the brains of the team, followed by more than a dozen logistics personnel who clean up the battlefield and collect data, they have a long gap between them and us, and they must ensure absolute safety and will not affect us before entering the ruins.

The gate exudes a faint black energy, which is full of my time power, and I feel uncomfortable for a while, it seems that this time the Yajin Magic Disk is a little mutually exclusive with my power, I don't know if I can get it normally. I have received so little information from my memory, and much of it is still something that I need to experience firsthand.

Shao Xun grabbed me and whispered to me: "Xiaolu, this ruin is very wrong, most of the ruins we entered before will age rapidly because of the abandonment of the ancient people, and the energy of the ruins cannot last so long. There must be something terrible in this, and it is very likely that we cannot deal with it. ”

"Shaoda, I know. But this time we had to go, not just because of the alliance. I looked at Shao Da meaningfully, even through the protective glasses, Shao Xun understood what I meant, and he had a reason to go.

"Whether it's life or death, this experience will definitely not be boring, go."

Du Fei patted his head, holding the smart computer in his hand, and said to the team: "Lord Bai, this time the energy fluctuation is extremely strong, we suspect that the energy body below is entering the recovery stage, do we still want to continue to enter?" ”

Bai Ming also paused a little, and after communicating with the command base with the communication equipment in the mask, he spoke: "Lobo said that this may be our most promising opportunity to capture the energy body, if we can ensure the premise of safety, this time we must go down, we will slow down the march, the reconnaissance team will use the remote survey function, and once there is danger, retreat as soon as possible." ”

We quickly reached the platform below, except for a few unpowered conveyors and testing equipment, most of the machines had been evacuated, leaving us with little time, and now we were worried that the ruins would have an automatic destruction device, and we would fall short.

The second door was also opened, and the cold air emitted by the energy inside was even heavier, and I could even feel that black energy was eating away at my time power, and I began to be afraid, afraid that the only means of preserving my life would fail after I entered it. My companions couldn't feel the energy fluctuations, they relied on the equipment and instruments to judge the surrounding environment, and my performance was discovered by Bai Ming, who asked, "What's the matter, so nervous, have you not performed the task for a long time, and have lost the quality of a servant." ”

"I'll hide behind you in a moment, and see that your powerful body is invincible." Bai Ming seems to like to talk to me very much, I used to have delusions, and I always felt that Bai Ming was very much like Mo Xingyu.

We walked down the long aisle for a while, when suddenly the reconnaissance mech in front of us stopped, and the third gate arrived.

Ahead is the unknown area that the White Team has not entered, and under this gate, Lobo has detected unknown lifeforms, and in fear is the answer to all sources.

"All the surveyors stay here, the reconnaissance mecha opens the defense matrix, and Du Fei will see the results of you and Lobo next."

Du Fei trotted all the way to the front, the chubby flesh was shaking, and I laughed when I saw it, remembering the former Du Fei. He came to the front of the defense matrix, and through the matrix I saw that the lock on the stone door was an old combination lock.

Du Fei connected the smart computer to the front end of the password lock, and started his best job in an instant.

"You don't know, this combination lock is a product of the old Earth Star, but the timeline is completely inconsistent with the shape of the building, so the teacher and I used our contacts to find the deciphered information, and we are sure that this lock was transformed and added after a long time, that is, someone has already entered this ruin, and it is not a wave."

I looked at Shao Xun, who shook his head and said he didn't know anything. Bai Ming said lightly: "I have consulted a lot of information, but there is no information about this ruin, not even the location or name. Including the members of the scientific expedition team in the alliance, this is an important reason for our fear, the decipherment process of the combination lock is not difficult, and the initiator did not intend to block everything, until the current process, the deciphering equipment transferred from other countries is just able to deal with this kind of combination lock, we suspect that the people who have been in and out of here are not from our country before, which is what we are worried about. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of digital button activation, and the combination lock was deciphered. Du Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled slightly, and returned to the end of the line.

Bai Ming's eyes signaled, I followed her to the door, and the two of them grabbed one end of the door and pushed it open with a sudden force.

With a snort, a huge wind blew towards the team, and the four reconnaissance mechs came out of the ranks, blocking most of the wind, Bai Ming and I have the defense system of combat uniforms, and this natural influence cannot pose a threat to us.

The huge black energy spread out, and all of a sudden it seemed to drain all the strength from my body, and I was a little overwhelmed, and my knees went limp.

Bai Ming held me up and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Z?" Do you have any adverse reactions? ”

Seeing that everyone was fine, I knew that it was the mutual exclusion of the two energies that made me lose the upper hand. I stood up and said it was okay, and Shaoxun also noticed that something was wrong with me, but I couldn't tell them my secret, so I didn't answer because I prevaricated.

The team began to go deeper, and after opening the door, there was a huge courtyard, where the plants and creatures had died, leaving grooves one by one, and Du Fei was excited, constantly taking pictures with equipment in the insignificant light, recording everything in front of him.

"It's incredible, the medieval buildings are so lifelike, maybe you can't imagine that every piece of ingenious building comes from every simple grassroots laborer, in ancient times, people had a strong hand-made ability, which is not comparable to us now."

Bai Ming commanded the reconnaissance mecha to carefully probe every building, beware of an enemy hiding in the dark to surprise attack.

"Please don't worry about Lord White, the teacher and I have just scanned it with the equipment, there are no biological traces here, not even a mechanism, we can use this as a base for depth, and we have also found the entrance to the next ruin, over there!"

Such a polite little fat man makes me a little uncomfortable, but I have to admit that in today's civilization, the mind plays a vital role. I rushed forward with Bai Ming and came to the bottom of a long staircase, which was a way up. We were a little shocked that this ruin had been going down since just now, and now it was actually going up.

Shao Xun also walked over, looked at the staircase leading to the darkness and said to us, "The terrain here is not suitable for the reconnaissance mecha to advance, and the slightest obstruction will be extremely inconvenient for your movement. Bai Ming also nodded, instructing the mecha to stand back, and the two of us as stormtroopers.

Shao Xun denied Bai Ming's idea and said to us: "I have a good way, leave a reconnaissance mecha in front, and you are on both wings of the mecha, only one mecha in front will not block your quick response, and two mecha are on both sides of us, and one mecha is left in the rear, forming a diamond-shaped formation, relatively speaking, in this situation of low visibility, each of us can give full play to our abilities." ”

Du Fei couldn't stop nodding after listening, I smiled, and said Bai Ming, you and Shaoda still have to learn more, Bai Ming did not refute, and silently arranged the instructions. The crews of the four reconnaissance mechs were the last team I encountered, and they had been conscientious and carried out their missions without saying a word.

The team made its way up the stairs to the depths. I tried to release the necklace's divine consciousness, trying to use the power of time to see the whole scene, but the power of time that could be released could not spread in this space at all, and even if it went out a little more, it would be swallowed.

"You've been fidgeting since you entered the ruins, what's the matter?" Bai Ming called me alone with a communicator.

"I'm fine, it's just that the power here is affecting me."

"He's fine, it's just that the energy of his body and the fluctuations here are a little repulsive, let's move on." Shaoxun gave me cover.

The corridor is very long, we walked for a while, because the mecha had to move very slowly, the light on it was a little better, we could see that there were stone railings on both sides, and there were statues on the stone railings.

Du Fei was full of joy when he saw it, opened his backpack and took out a light stick, which lit it and emitted a white light.

When the light illuminates, the details of the statue are magnified to life, it is the image of a monkey-headed bird, all of which are facing the staircase, solemn.

"Ah, are these creatures that once existed, or are they human imaginations? Oh my God, it's so realistic! If this kind of goods go to the black market, at least you can buy a big house. Du Fei pounced at once, rubbing the statue with both hands, "This texture can still be preserved intact after such a long time, the teacher must be very envious that I can come down." ”

Bai Ming didn't have time to remind Du Fei that this little fat man's fanaticism for these monuments could not be stopped, and the atmosphere was not so solemn, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they looked at him.

"Hey, can this statue's eyeballs be moved?" Du Fei asked curiously, he reached out and touched the face of the statue, rubbing his fingers to the eyes. "Could it be that I saw it wrong, I saw the statue's eyes rolling just now."

I reminded, "Du Fei, be careful, there may be a mechanism." ”

Well, Du Fei began to take the smart computer to take a picture, only to see a click, the stone statue woke up suddenly, and a feathered monkey-headed monster bird pounced on Du Fei!

The first attack took place!
