Chapter 42: Contact
The backlit figure towards him was a little unclear when he opened his eyes, but there was no doubt that it was the shadow of a person.
In this environment, suddenly a figure stood in front of him, as if it was still observing him, how could he not be frightened, shrunk and hurriedly retreated.
The figure seemed to be startled by his reaction, and jumped backwards.
After both sides paused with each other, Chen Shi adapted to the intensity of the light and gradually saw the appearance of the figure clearly.
Who is it?
In front of him was a man about one and a half meters tall, dressed in a strange full-body armor, which looked very ugly, with obvious traces of welding, crooked, and not polished, resulting in an extremely ugly and low price at a glance.
And this short man in full-body armor, carrying a metal box on his back, and the slit of the helmet part of the eye, seemed to be looking at him.
"Y-Who are you?"
Chen Shi was shocked.
The dwarf tilted his head to look at him, then reached out and grabbed his helmet and took it off.
Girl?
How is ...... No, it's not.
Her ears, this girl's ears are very similar to the whistle ears, but compared to the whistle ears of normal humans, this whistle ears are much larger, and even the long black hair can't cover such big whistle ears, as if they are covered with two small bowls.
Not only that, but the girl's cheeks were covered with fine hair, and her amber eyes were more like sparkling gems.
This...... It is said that it is human, and it is more like a strange race of human fantasy works.
“&¥#@##@@¥#@……”
It is not human, and what it said made Chen Shi look confused, and he couldn't understand what he was talking about.
Seeing that Chen Shi was stunned in place, it took a step over, and Chen Shi immediately took a step back vigilantly.
At a height of 1.5 meters, compared to Chen Shi's figure of 1.82 meters, he is definitely the size of a child, but in such a strange place, there is a person who looks so weird, how can Chen Shi rest assured, it is inevitable to maintain a high degree of vigilance.
Chen Shi's vigilance against it also made it understand, it turned its head to look at Chen Shi, muttered another unintelligible word, then put back on the helmet again, and walked towards the periphery of the platform with the metal box on its back.
This thing...... What does that mean exactly?
Chen Shi was confused, as if he had no ill will towards himself?
Seeing it walk to the edge of the platform, reflexively grasping the ladder and starting to go down, Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, but still followed with open steps.
This is the first intelligent life he has encountered in a long time, although they can't communicate with each other, no matter how you look at it, it may be a "local" here, and it has no persecution or malicious actions towards him.
This is admittedly a bit risky and unscrupulous, as deception is not ruled out.
But Chen Shi was really disgusting, he didn't want to be lying here and passively despair, even if he was safely teleported back to Earth this time, once the time was continued to be extended, he had to and would inevitably go down to explore, which was unavoidable.
Instead of waiting for the next time he meets no "person", it is better to seize the opportunity this time, if he can communicate with this intelligent life, it will be of great help to his current difficulties.
Hey, this time when I return to Earth, I must eat and drink more, and I must not listen to the nonsense of those health experts. It's a pity that this place is dangerous, otherwise......
Chen Shi's face sank, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, when did this happen, what are you still thinking about, if you don't seize the time to think about it more, maybe you won't have a chance in the future.
After thinking about it, Chen Shi had already come to the edge of the platform, and when he looked down, the mysterious intelligent life had already descended the ladder ten meters high, stepped on a huge pipe, and walked towards the opposite side.
Chen Shi also learned to grasp the crossbar of the ladder, but as soon as he grabbed it, he felt the soreness of the muscles, today he climbed the ladder for too long, and he was too tired, and the muscle injury was serious.
If it weren't for the amazing endurance that Chen Shi had exercised in the Internet café, he would definitely not be able to hold the crossbar and really fall.
His face kept twitching because of the pain, Chen Shi insisted on going down, stepped on the extremely strong pipe, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground.
"Hoo ......"
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Chen Shi barely stood up again, struggling with every step, gritting his teeth, as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father.
The figure in front of him was already more than fifty meters away from him, Chen Shi didn't dare to delay, afraid that the intelligent life would throw him off, no matter how sore his thigh muscles were, he also walked forward. After only a few steps, he lay on the ground, and in an instant he propped up his body again and continued to catch up.
Ironically, he was frightened of the other party and full of vigilance, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to catch up with that figure again, and even worried that the figure would disappear.
Perhaps it was the movement of his running that disturbed the intelligent life, it turned to look at Chen Shi, stopped, and waited for Chen Shi to run up panting, before turning around and walking forward.
This is...... Allow yourself to follow?
Chen Shi was confused, since he decided to keep up, he no longer had any doubts and regrets, and slowed down and followed behind it to see what it had planned.
Walking along the huge pipeline, there is a bottomless abyss under both sides, and when you look up, there are countless inverted sword-like buildings standing on the left and right, reflecting the faint blue light, such a city has a unique ghost, and there is a hint of strange atmosphere, which can never make people feel at ease.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Chen Shi was already tired and tired, and when he really couldn't walk, the pipeline came to an abrupt stop in front of him, and the intelligent life stopped and opened an iron door towards the left side.
Is it there?
Chen Shi was inexplicably surprised, and a force came from the depths of his body, mustered up the last remaining strength, and followed it in.
Inside the gate is a passage about two meters wide, and the normal pipes above the head have become much smaller, constantly seeping out a trace of heat from the gaps, and the temperature in the entire corridor has risen sharply, and even Chen Shi, who is naked, feels a burst of dampness and heat.
The figure in front of him continued to move forward as if he didn't feel this kind of high temperature, and Chen Shi sighed, no matter how painful it was, he still had to follow.
Fortunately, perhaps the gods heard Chen Shi's lament, the aisle was not too long, it only took a few minutes, and under the last steel door, it stretched out its steel armored arm, grasped the rotating valve on the safety steel door, and rotated it clockwise, allowing the steel door to open.
"Crunch ......"
The steel door slowly opened, and it stepped in, turning its head to look at Chen Shi.
