Ten minutes later.

An off-road vehicle is parked on the ground.

The ground is charred black, and the off-road vehicles are snow-white. Immediately after, a cloud of white smoke came out of the car. As time progressed, the white smoke did not gradually become smaller, but gradually strengthened. Then, the white smoke gradually deepened in color, gradually turning into black smoke, and then, with a soft "bang...... A screw popped out of the lid.

This screw is just the beginning.

"Jingle bell", a series of parts popped out from various parts of the car, and the ground seemed to be raining, dropping small parts on the ground.

Finally, with a "boom", all four wheels of the car were deflated!

The height of the car is also as low as a small arm's height.

It was only at this point that the process of dismantling the off-road vehicle gradually stopped.

"Smack."

The back door of the car opened, and a very beautiful woman stepped out of the car.

She still has signs of being tied tightly, convex and backward, and her long hair is shawl. His face was pale and his eyes were straight. When I got out of the car, my two slender and straight legs were still shaking. He didn't take two steps before he fell to the ground, holding his hands on the ground and panting.

Gasping and panting, he suddenly covered his chest with one hand and vomited.

Motion sickness, uncomfortable......

The door on the other side was also pushed open.

Next came a slightly younger girl. She was also extremely beautiful, and she looked very similar to the woman just now, but her face was much colder. Still fiddling with something in his hand, probably doing calculations. Her face was fine, except for a bruise on the side of her forehead, presumably from hitting the guardrail on her head just now.

The last door to open is the front left driver's seat. Down above was a man.

On his back is a large backpack that he never leaves at all times. Walk up to the younger girl and rub her hair. After that, he came to the woman who got out of the car at the beginning.

He held the car with one hand and the woman with the other: "The car is good, strong enough." ”

The woman looked at him with a resentful expression.

Man: "It's a pity that it broke down." ”

……

……

The car drove for ten minutes, and Duanqing felt like ten years had passed.

She stood up and looked uncontrollably at the way she had come, she couldn't imagine how she had come this way.

The distance of about 178 kilometers is more than 300 meters from the starting point to the stopping point. From here, it's like looking up at a skyscraper.

Not only that, but there are also three horizontal cracks in the charred black ground. There are also a large number of giant termites behind him doing fast tracking.

Xu Liang rushed left and right, using various terrain to complete five cross-terrain leaps, and finally reached his current position.

He successfully stuck the pursuing termites in a narrow terrain, and then used the altitude difference + the operation of the stuck position to successfully avoid those pursuers.

He also broke down an off-road vehicle that could be a heavy tank.

It almost shook a woman unconscious.

Looking at this impossible course of action, Duan Qing couldn't take his eyes off for a long time. But at this time, she felt that the top of her head was grabbed by Xu Liang and forcibly changed to the exact opposite direction.

Duan Qing looked over there, her eyes becoming misty.

"It's the power plant."

……

The attention of the two has completely shifted from speeding just now to this side.

Looking at it from here, it is difficult to see traces of a "power plant" in the usual sense. But Duan Qing still recognized it at a glance, because it was too familiar.

Ahead, it resembles a huge wall, covered in black silt, and the top is like a mud cover, completely blocking the contents underneath. However, from the clues, she still recognized it. This thing, that's the power plant.

She built it!

The power plant is the core part of the large ship system. Covering an area of 7.3 square kilometers, it is laid out in a regular hexagonal honeycomb structure, covering hundreds of thousands of power generation modules! The capacity and cable distribution of each module are to the most reasonable degree.

It's all about powering the arena of civilization at the core.

Duan Qing: "I will never admit my mistake!" It's a power plant! We've arrived! ”

Xu Liang: "Okay! So the question now is, how do we get in? ”

"There is a passage. I have left entrances in each of the 24 directions, and the direction we are in now is ......" Duan Qing silently calculated the direction, and then kept comparing it with the super large building in front of him, and finally pointed to one place and said: "This is it, as long as you dig up the mud above, you can enter the civilization arena that leads to the most center." ”

Xu Liang: "I'm curious, what kind of place is the Civilization Arena and how big is the area?" ”

"It's actually very small, only the size of an ordinary villa. Anyway, I can't say it now, but you'll know later. "We are now on the edge, about two kilometers away from the very center. Beneath the black silt is a passage through which you can reach the core. ”

Xu Liang: "Is the passage strong enough?" ”

The entire ship system was shattered by the tsunami, and now the central power plant cluster is covered with a lot of silt. Xu Liang worries about irreversible damage.

Duan Qing: "Pretty sturdy. All-metal construction, fully enclosed system. There are no surprises! ”

Lao Xu dragged his chin...... Okay, then what else to say, dig!

Not only is it the road to the long-awaited arena of civilization, but more importantly, the giant termite colony they threw off just now has caught up again.

Just now, Xu Liang made three leaps in a row to block those giant termites on the other side of the crack. But giant termites use their insect-specific climbing techniques to detour, leap and scurry. Now reappear in the distance!

They travel extremely fast, and it will take me five or six minutes to get there!

Xu Liang's car was already broken, and it was impossible to run further. The best way to survive is to enter this cluster of power plants and avoid danger.

Lao Xu rolled up his sleeves and began to work, pinching his nose to clean up the sludge (it stinks).

Silt, black, rotten, scorching. It seems to be the corpse of a sea creature, or the remnants of some more terrifying unknown bacterium that has multiplied, giving off an indescribable smell. He pinched his nose and worked, and suddenly, the tool reached down and touched a relatively hard object.

Xu Liang hurriedly dug to both sides, and finally saw clearly that there was a door below!

Duan Qing also helped a little on the side, and when she saw this, she suddenly became excited: "This is it!" Behind the door is the passage! Fast! ”

The two of them frantically started digging quickly, and soon cleaned up the mud on it. The full view of the door is also exposed. It has a strong metallic texture, with various technological lines, and it looks very sturdy, and it is indeed as Duanqing said, it has not been damaged. Although it looks a little dirty.

Although Duanqing is a girl who loves cleanliness, she is not afraid of getting dirty at this time, and has been digging with Xu Liang. But now that she was ready to enter the door, her face suddenly became ugly.

Xu Liang stared at her, and after 3 seconds......

"Hey, talk about you!"

Duanqing: ......

Xu Liang was impatient: "I said young lady, you opened the door!" The big ants in the back are still chasing! ”

In the rear, the giant termites are quite closer, at least more than 100 of them! And it's all the kind of soldier ants who specialize in fighting!

Duan Qing finally spoke: "I...... Can't open the door......"

There was guilt in her eyes, and Xu Liang was so shocked that she could stuff a red Fuji apple in her mouth!

"You...... Are you teasing me? Xu Liang said, "You're a designer!" This ...... This door looks this high-end, that one, what fingerprint unlock system? Iris authentication system? Or if you just twist the key, you have to do something, right? Hurry up and open the door! ”

Duan Qing stared to the side, found some broken cable ends, fragments of the operator, and showed them to Xu Liang, and then said: "This is the fingerprint unlocking system you are talking about, as well as the iris authentication system." ”

Xu Liang took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed unusable.

Duan Qing: "Actually, in addition to these, I also designed facial recognition, that is, you can open the door by brushing your face, but it is also broken." There is also a fourth way to open the door, which is indirectly controlled by the super giant wheel 'Calculation Number', but the Calculation Number itself is also problematic, so it ......"

Xu Liang: "So the door is intact, and the 4 control systems are broken?" ”

Duanqing's face darkened: "Hmm." ”

Lao Xu was almost angry and vomited blood. But Duanqing's guilty eyes made him say nothing. A large number of giant ants were approaching in the rear, but they had nowhere to go. Old Xu was in a hurry, flew up and kicked the door.

There was a loud "bang".

And then...... The door was kicked open......

Xu Liang: ......

Duanqing: ......

He kept this kicking position and didn't move for at least 3 seconds!

Duanqing, who was watching from the side, looked at it with round eyes, and could stuff a red Fuji apple with thick skin in his mouth!

This is a high-strength composite metal door! A single door weighs more than 100 kilograms!

The thickness is more than 20 cm! Even if you use machine gun fire, no, even if you use the siege car (the thing that hit the city gate) to smash it, it may not be able to open it! Now he was kicked away by Xu Liang?

Duan Qing looked at him: "So, in fact, you are a robot?" ”

Duan Han also raised his head at this time: "Lao Xu, are your feet okay?" ”

Three seconds later, Xu Liang came back to his senses, and he returned to his normal state of keeping kicking the door. "My feet are fine," he said. Also, I'm not a robot. And then, actually, this door should not be locked......"

Didn't lock the door?

The three of them couldn't hide their astonishment. Duan Qing: "Impossible! This is the core facility, and it would never be opened, but it would never be locked! ”

She was still shocked outside, Xu Liang had already pulled Duan Han into the door. After a while, a hand reached out from inside and pulled Duan Qing in.

"I think it's your duty to explain that to us." Xu Liang pointed to a place inside the passage and said.

Duanqing was dragged into the door by Xu Liang and finally entered the passage.

Inside the passage, it's pretty much the same as she had designed it before. It's the kind of scene that resembles the narrow corridor in a science fiction movie, enclosed by a metal structure. What Xu Liang asked her to explain was on the inside of the door.

On the inside of the door is a lock that can be manually controlled.

The lock is already broken.

Threads, parts, broken locks, unlocking tools, scattered all over the place.

I think this is the reason why Xu Liang can easily kick the door open. But the shocking question, which Xu Liang wants to explain, is that there are still blood stains here!

Dark red blood, splattered on doors, passageways, walls, everywhere. There was also a strong smell of blood. An indescribable smell of blood.

Xu Liang pointed to the bloodstains: "Can you explain?" ”

Duan Qing didn't speak.

"Why don't I explain?" Xu Liang said, "I think a very obvious explanation is that someone has already entered before us, and there is no doubt that the door was opened by these people. And their goal ...... The same is the arena of civilization! ”
