Chapter 294: The Third Space

Only then did I understand that Qixing was not in conflict with Feng Jiutian just now, but worried about her safety.

I was very touched by both of them, one not to put his companion at risk, and the other to save others regardless of his own safety. are all admirable women!

Knowing that Feng Jiutian was in danger, we all secretly sweated for her. Qixing said angrily that he didn't care, but his eyes never left Feng Jiutian's side.

However, through observation, I found that the expressions of Feng Jiutian and Instructor Zhao were still relatively peaceful, and it should be going relatively smoothly.

After an hour of worrying, I saw Feng Jiutian say something to Instructor Zhao with a smile, and then snapped his fingers in the air. Then Instructor Zhao slowly lowered his head as if he was asleep, and Feng Jiutian reached out to support his shoulders and lay him flat on the ground.

Seeing that we were all looking at her worriedly, Feng Jiutian smiled and gestured a scissor hand to us, and our hearts immediately fell back to our original position, it seems that she has succeeded.

However, as soon as we breathed a sigh of relief, we saw that Feng Jiutian's smile did not decrease, but his body was crooked and he slowly fell down.

I secretly screamed in my heart, but before I moved, a figure rushed past, it was Seven Stars.

After checking on Feng Jiutian, Qixing let out a sigh of relief and said to us, "She's fine, she's just too tired to fall asleep." ”

Seeing that everyone was actually tired, I asked everyone to rest in place, and if they couldn't, they could sleep for a while, but for a maximum of half an hour.

Now the most troublesome thing is that we can't eat, it has been more than six hours since we set off, and under high gravity, physical consumption has increased, and we must replenish food and water. The inability to open the mask here became the biggest obstacle. I wanted to withdraw first, but when I thought of the closed door, I couldn't help but feel worried.

An Beimo saw through what I was thinking, quietly sat next to me and said to me: "It's impossible to go back, only to keep going." You see, there are so many strange things in these two places we passed by, and there must have been a lot of people who worked here in the first place. I think maybe there's an air system here, but we haven't found it yet. ”

As soon as she reminded me, I thought it was really likely. So he said: "It's only like this, but everyone is a little too hard, I don't know if we can hold on." ”

An Beimo glanced at everyone and said, "We must have no problem, it's not once or twice to go around the death line, what I'm worried about is the doctor and Instructor Zhao." ”

I said, "I'm talking about them, it's really not good, it's a big deal that Shen Hao and I are behind our backs, so we can't let anyone have an accident anymore." ”

An Beimo secretly squeezed my hand and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've done a good job." ”

I smiled and said, "The first time I led the team independently, it was still such a difficult task, and it would be false to say that there was no pressure." ”

After a half-hour break, I asked everyone to go. The assembled corpse can't be taken away for the time being, so let's put it here first, and when we come back, we will find a way to transport it back.

Feng Jiutian and Instructor Zhao haven't woken up yet, so I'll let Shen Hao work harder, carrying Feng Jiutian on my back, and I'll carry Instructor Zhao on my back. Qixing led the way in front, and An Beimo covered in the back. We bypassed the pile of fake corpses and continued into the darkness.

After walking a short distance, we found the iron cabinet again, but this time it was much larger and taller than the one we had seen before, with four rows in total, like four iron walls.

I said to the Seven Stars leading the way in front of me, "Leave it alone, keep going." ”

At this time, Instructor Zhao on my back felt completely twice the weight of the earth, and it was very difficult to carry it. Although Feng Jiutian is much lighter than Instructor Zhao, it is not easy for me to see Shen Hao's appearance.

At this time, An Beimo, who was walking behind, suddenly asked me: "Just now you said that when we were in the pipeline, the fan would attack us because we were different from the missing astronauts." As for what's the difference, do you have a clue now? ”

I heard An Beimo suddenly mention this, and immediately understood that she was deliberately talking to us, so that we could disperse the feeling of tiredness.

Seven Stars didn't look back in front of us and asked us what we said before.

As a result, Shen Hao probably repeated it, and after listening to it, Qixing said: "If this is really an artificial intelligence computer operation, maybe it has scanned that our weapons are more advanced and poses enough threats to it, so it chooses to attack us." ”

I said, "It's possible, but there's another thing that makes us different from the missing astronauts." After a deliberate pause, I continued, "I think it's the number of people!" ”

"How many?" An Beimo, Qixing, and Shen Hao said almost in unison.

"Yes." "There were only four astronauts who came in, and the fans didn't attack at the time, and we came in with seven people," I said. I suspect it's possible that we've exceeded the default number of people on a smart computer, which is why it has a defense mechanism. ”

I saw that people were skeptical of my statement, so I said, "The goddess said before that we were attracted here, and I personally prefer this idea. If we combine these two possibilities, do you think there is some truth to what I just said? ”

Shen Hao said silently: "I hope we come here, and you want to limit the number of people we can come in, I can't think of any point in this kind of rule?" ”

An Beimo took his words and said, "Perhaps, if there are many people who come in at the same time, the secrets here may be discovered!" ”

Everyone looked surprised at the same time, including me. An Beimo's idea can be described as wild, but I vaguely feel that this is very possible.

Following this line of thought, I thought about it and said to everyone: "Suppose the purpose of the fan's attack is not to kill us all, but to reduce our numbers, but it fails. And there must be more than one defense plan here, so the strange thing we encountered along the way may also be the defense mechanism here, which is aimed at weakening our power. ”

Shen Hao put Feng Jiutian on his back and said, "But I still don't understand, what's the use of reducing our numbers. Again, Black Hawk, you said that the number of astronauts is fine, so why is there another astronaut killed? That seems to conflict with your thoughts, right? ”

I really haven't figured this out yet, so I sighed and said, "You're right! I really didn't think of a reason. Even the sacrificial astronaut would have been mixed in with a pile of dummy corpses, and I couldn't figure out what it was for. ”

As we spoke, the seven stars in the front suddenly whispered to us, "Quiet! We're at the end. ”

When I looked up, I saw that not far ahead, another iron wall with no top in sight was blocking our way, and in the middle of the wall, there was a closed iron door.

This is the second wall we came in, and the second iron door.

I put Instructor Zhao in the corner of the wall, let Shen Hao take care of the two people who were still in a coma, and then came to both sides of the door with Qixing and An Beimo, and after signaling each other to be ready, I slowly pushed the iron door.

The door was unlocked, and I pushed open the small gap, and I looked inside. It was still an empty space, and under the light, I didn't see anything. I opened the door a little wider until there was enough for one person to enter. glanced at An Beimo and the others, and then got in.

As soon as I got in, I leaned into the corner and used spotlights to shine around. It's obviously not the same as the two places outside, and the ground alone is very different.

I looked and saw that the floor seemed to be covered with square bricks that resembled plexiglass, and they were milky white in the sunlight. I knocked on it, and the sound was thick and a little hollow, and it sounded like there was something else hollow under the solid bricks.

At this time, Seven Stars followed, and she hid on the other side of the iron gate, and the two of us searched carefully as far as we could see. An Beimo was outside the door and swept this place with a thermal detector, and then the three of us looked at each other and shook our heads.

After confirming that it was safe, I went out again, and Shen Hao carried Instructor Zhao and Feng Jiutian in and put them in the corner.

This time, I went to check the iron gate and found that there were iron gate switches with rocking wheels on both sides. I tried it on both sides, and it was purely mechanical, and I could open the door on both sides, so when I got back inside the door, I closed the door with my hand.

There was a "bang", and the door just closed. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of my eyes, I didn't know if I had touched something, so I hurriedly blocked in front of Feng Jiutian and Instructor Zhao, and Shen Hao raised the gun and aimed it forward.

It turned out that there were countless lights on the ground where we were standing, no wonder I heard the air below when I was knocking just now, it seems that there is a light trough under the glass floor where we are stepping, and as soon as you close the door when you enter here, the light switch will be triggered.

The light spread forward rapidly, not only on the ground, but also on the walls on both sides and on the top. It's too big, and there are so many lights that it flickers for more than a minute before all the lights come on. Soon we were able to see the whole picture.

A few of us didn't move, the muzzle of the gun was always pointed forward, and I didn't know what strange things would happen this time. When the lights were completely on, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

An Beimo and I glanced at each other and slowly stood up. Suddenly entering a place with light, my eyes are still a little uncomfortable, but I can barely see this place clearly.

This third space is once again beyond our imagination, with that kind of plexiglass laid everywhere, exactly the same on all sides, and it looks like it is full of technology. In particular, the walls on both sides, from the floor to the top, are filled with cabinets that look like electronic instruments, and many various indicators on them are flashing back and forth, and it is impossible to see what they are for.

Shen Hao said in surprise: "Is this the server management center?" ”

An Beimo said to him: "This is not as simple as a server, from the outside, it looks like a giant computer." ”

At this time, Qixing pointed to a place on the top and asked us, "Do you look there, does it look like an operation console?" ”
