Chapter 12: Frescoes and Secret Chambers
Chen You led the soldiers behind the alloy baffle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThis former war stronghold has been destroyed by time and plants.
Walking to the small square inside the ruins, a strange sight completely attracted Chen You.
On the wall of the building directly opposite, there was a paw print left by a beast. The height and width of this paw print is about the same size as a heavy war shell!
What a beast it is!
Chen You stepped forward and touched the wall to see the edge of the paw prints, which should have been left during the war. Like the baffle, the wall is made of alloy, and its hardness and properties have not changed much over such a long period of time, except for some rust on the surface.
You know, the bullets of the longbow sniper rifle can penetrate this alloy. What a beast with such a huge size and incomparable power looked like, Chen You really didn't dare to imagine.
Coming back to his senses from the rambling exclamations and imaginations, in order to fully search the ruins, Chen You began to personally inspect them one by one, one room at a time.
Almost all the rooms are empty and abandoned, which is a big disappointment.
Only one room was a little unusual.
This room was supposed to be a depot for the soldiers who were stationed here, and the contents of the box had been decayed, dried, and turned to ashes, and were completely useless.
It's just that on the walls of this material storehouse, there are bright wall paintings.
The pigment should come from nearby minerals. And the mapper, Chen You, can be sure that he is one of the robots they defeated just now and guarded this place.
Why is Chen You so sure? Because the form of the mural on the wall is so different from that drawn by ordinary intelligent beingsβthe straight lines of this painting are as straight as if drawn with a ruler; The circle seems to have a compass; The coloring, even, saturated, seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Only a mechanical creature with complete and precise control over its limbs and consciousness made of code can draw such a picture.
Chen You carefully looked at the content of the painting: on the left side of the picture, it was obvious that machine life and some unknown intelligent creatures were fighting against the monsters on the right side of the picture.
The monsters were dense and varied, all with the characteristics of each wild animal, but they were so fierce that they seemed to have come out of hell.
Behind these monsters is a mountain of creatures.
Standing on the top of the mountain was a creature that Chen You had never seen before.
Fierce muscles, plump and swollen on its streamlined body. Ornate bone armor like horns, fangs, and armor, like the most formidable creature the Creator could imagine and design, nay, can hardly be considered a living thing.
Its image gives people a coercion, like a fierce god.
Chen You was almost fascinated by it, and gradually walked into the fierce beast on the peak.
In Chen You's eyes, the giant beast seemed to come to life, roaring majestically at the peak composed of hundreds of millions of living beings, making the entire starry sky tremble and roar.
"Commander! Commander! Come and see! The sound of the flying squirrel sounding in the squad channel, pulling Chen You back from the beast illusion.
His gaze remained on the beast for a few seconds, and Chen You turned around and ran towards the place where the flying squirrel was.
ββββββ
The flying squirrel was tumbling around the room, looking excited and triumphant.
Where it is located, is the arsenal of this ancient stronghold. A variety of never-before-seen automatic weapons are well displayed in the weapons cabinet.
"What's going on?" Chen You asked.
The flying squirrel's electronic screen raised its eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "Hehehe, if you don't say that Uncle Ben has such a big eye, you think he is blind?" The flying squirrel, which is both an electronic eye and a screen eye, blinked, "Look there!" β
The flying squirrel emitted a ray of light and pointed at the innermost piece of ground in the arsenal.
Chen You looked at it, and there was nothing special about the land: "What's wrong?" You're not kidding me, are you? β
The flying squirrel snorted, "Eh, take a closer look." β
Chen You took two more steps and found that the ground of the armament depot was covered with dust, only a small piece, unevenly dusty: "This is?" β
The flying squirrel scanned the piece with a ray of light, and a priesthood-type invisible robot manifested there.
Chen You was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his pistol, and the flying squirrel hurriedly stopped: "Don't be afraid!" This priest is damaged! β
Chen You took a step forward and fiddled with the priest with his pistol to confirm that the other party would indeed not move.
So, this priest had been damaged many years ago, but for some unknown reason, its invisibility was still intact.
Sit here without a trace, and if it weren't for the flying squirrel, maybe its existence would never have been known.
Chen You asked, "Is there anything special about this machine life?" β
The flying squirrel replied, "It's not it, it's ...... special" The flying squirrel casts a scanning light that outlines the ground where the priest is sitting, with a sizable secret door.
Chen You was a little excited for a while: Secret room!
Chen You hurriedly bent down to find out how to open the secret room.
The flying squirrel stopped him: "Eh, Lord Commander, don't be in a hurry, okay?" Is this something that can be broken open by hand? β
Chen You was sarcastically ridiculed by the flying squirrel again, and couldn't help but blush a little again: "Then how to open this?" β
The flying squirrel said proudly: "Hehe, call Uncle Flying Squirrel to listen." β
Chen You: "Did I tear you apart?" β
Flying Squirrel: "Oh, don't be so fierce! This antique electronic lock, the uncle has cracked it! β
After that, the secret door of the secret room is opened!
Chen You looked at the gradually expanding door opening of the secret room, and his mouth couldn't close.
After the secret door was completely opened, Chen You couldn't wait to go down.
The light battle shell he was wearing sensed the change in ambient light and switched to night vision mode, which scared Chen You to the core.
Dozens of Monk Robots and five Overseer Robots stand in the dark!
Chen You's fingers almost pulled the trigger, but when he looked closely, it turned out that these machine lives were all inactive. Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.
In the state of night vision, Chen You saw a faint light in the innermost part of the secret room.
This bit of light attracted Chen You to walk inside.
Through the machine life like the terracotta warriors of the tomb, Chen You walked to the place where the light shone.
It was a still powered bench with a transparent hotbed on it.
Inside the hotbed is a crystal about half a meter in diameter, and it is this crystal that emits a faint light.
Chen You suddenly discovered that this secret room was built for this crystal, and these heavy soldiers who could no longer be activated underground for some reason were all to protect this thing!
Anyway, it's a baby!
