Luo Yi used a circular unlocker to open a wind paddle machine on the side of the road, and drove towards the mantle passage with Li Li. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them looked at the southeast sky from the paddle machine, and occasionally there was still a cyan light flashing in the clouds, and the whole sky seemed to be glowing with a trace of cyan, and the oncoming night wind was mixed with a little smell of sulfur. The paddle machine slowly landed in the gravel field about a kilometer away from the entrance of the cave, and the moment the cabin was opened, the strong smell of sulfur made it difficult for Luo Yi to breathe, making her mistakenly think that a violent volcanic eruption had just occurred here.

The cyan light cluster still flickered in the clouds from time to time, but the intensity had been greatly weakened, and the frequency had also decreased a lot. The two walked along the mountain path to the entrance of the passage, and under the outline of the night, the huge dragon head at the entrance stood proudly in the black, which was very eye-catching, guarding the tunnel to the center of the earth like a totem. The two tiptoed to the entrance at the entrance of the dragon's mouth, through the glass, the lobby was empty, pushed open the door and the two crossed the turnstile at the entrance, and saw that there were still two bullet trucks parked at the starting point, the two jumped up, Luo Yi skillfully operated the control system of the bullet truck, and the vehicle moved slowly.

The bullet truck instantly accelerated to Mach 5, along the tunnel all the way to the mantle, about 10 minutes or so, the bullet car did not continue to move in the familiar direction, but along the fork in the road towards a small road, this branch road is a monorail pipe, the diameter of the pipe wall is much smaller, this pipe seems to be rarely used and rarely maintained, the red mantle wraps the pipe wall, you can see that a lot of dust has accumulated on the inside of the pipe wall, and in some places even completely obscures the mantle. The two of them were so nervous that they sat in the bullet cart, and every minute that passed, the fear of the unknown increased by one point, and Luo Yi needed to take out a tissue from time to time to wipe the sweat on his forehead to keep himself calm.

I don't know how long it took, but the vehicle finally broke through the mantle and entered the black space between it and the core. The vehicle arrived at an unmanned dock, opened the door, and a cold air came into the car. The two of them got out of the car and turned on the lighting system they carried with them, and the lenses of different sizes reflected dazzling light under the light. The two of them walked aimlessly in the dark, and there was no black margin to be seen around them or any sound to be heard, Luo Yi walked in front of Li Li, carefully stepping on the hard lens and struggling forward.

Suddenly, a "card rub" sound came from under Luo Yi's feet to break the black dead silence, which was particularly harsh in this underground world, and Luo Yi, who was startled, immediately stood in place, and the light hit his feet, which turned out to be a skull. Luo Yi gasped, shone the light forward, and found one not far away. And Li Li's side also found the same skull between the high and low staggered lenses, and the two walked forward in the direction of the skull, but the skull appeared more and more densely, and the cold sweat on Luo Yi's body gradually soaked his back.

"Look over here." Li Li's nervous whisper came from Luo Yi's headphones. She turned to Li Li's side and looked at the pillar of his light, and a scene that she would never forget was presented in front of her. The skulls were clustered together and artificially piled up to form a mountain of skulls, which appeared to be 20 meters high, and where at least tens of thousands of skulls were buried. Li Li picked up a skull at his feet and found that this seemingly ordinary skull was obviously depressed at the forehead, which was obviously a deformity that appeared in the process of growing up. I picked up another one, and the right eye of this one was covered by bone, and it didn't grow into the shape of an eye socket at all. Li Li examined more than a dozen skulls in a row, and it seemed that there were huge growth defects on each of them, that is, the owners of this mountain of 10,000 skulls were once a group of disabled people with major physical defects.

Luo Yi unconsciously took two steps back in the face of Skull Mountain, feeling the cool air on his back scattered. Li Li grabbed Luo Yi's hand and said, "Follow me, be careful." ”

Li Li took Luo Yi around Skull Mountain, and found that there was a small iron shed half a person high behind Skull Mountain, Li Li couldn't help but say, and easily opened the small iron shed, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden tunnel below, the light shone, the one-person wide dark passage was bottomless, and the walls were all composed of lenses, and a staircase was installed on one side of the wall to go straight down.

"Are you ready?" Li Li's slightly hoarse voice came from Luo Yi's earphones.

Luo Yi couldn't imagine what else would be hidden at the bottom of the mantle, which was only about 5 kilometers away from the center of the earth, and continuing to dig down was tantamount to one step closer to death. But in the face of a situation where I have no clue now, I must take this step.

After Luo Yi nodded at Li Li, Li Li took the lead in climbing down the passage. The passage itself can only accommodate one person up and down, and the burly Li Li looks cramped and cramped in the passage, and the metal body and the lens of the wall are constantly rubbing and making a harsh sound. The two of them went down the stairs for about 100 meters, and the lens that was originally the thickness of the forearm began to gradually become smaller, covered with many soybean-sized crystalline dregs, and then 50 meters down, the lens all turned into tiny balls, some as small as rice grains. At the same time, Luo Yi felt that the four walls of the passage were a little warm, and the air was not as cold as it was at the beginning, which must be due to getting closer and closer to the earth's core. Li Li shone the light down the passage, and found that about 10 meters away from him, the four walls of the passage were no longer primitive lens walls, but were all wrapped in metal, reflecting a dazzling silver light under the illumination of the light. This change made the two of them instantly recover a lot of their originally depressed will, and the two of them increased their speed, about 50 meters down, and the long staircase finally came to an end.

At the end of the stairs was a hidden iron door, and Li Li used a camera to probe the situation in the door, and after confirming that there was no danger, he pushed open the iron door. Inside the iron gate is a passage that is dimly lit and covered with old-fashioned tiles on the walls and floor, which looks like part of a mine. The two of them walked along the passage, and suddenly heard a faint human voice, but they couldn't hear the content clearly, and they searched for the sound and found that the sound came from the upper layer of the passage, accompanied by dense footsteps. The two of them walked through the passage at a rapid pace, and the road in front of the passage was more like an underground mine, but there was a partition made of metal grates that allowed them to see the situation above.

The two were clinging to the wall, hiding in the shadows in the corner, Luo Yi secretly looked up, and found that it was Qiao Mu, one of the directors of the company, who was the representative of the radical faction in the board of directors, an important promoter of the "Star Departure Project", and was always ambitious for his career.

Qiao Mu said to a staff member on the side, "Is the guide who brought Director Li in a moment ready?" ”

"Mr. Qiao, the personnel are all arranged."

"As soon as people arrive, they will be taken directly to the observation room, and today's display is very important, so that there must be no accident from last time."

"Mr. Qiao, our people have all been in place and have been checked repeatedly, and absolutely no one will be able to hide this time."

Qiao Mu nodded and turned and walked out.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Luo Yi had a plan in his heart, Director Li in Qiao Mu's mouth should be Li Jian, Li Jian's visit this time should be an experiment to visit the company, no matter what his purpose is, as long as he tracks Li Jian, he will definitely be able to gain something. Luo Yi gave Li Li a thumbs up, and Li Li immediately nodded in understanding.

Luo Yi leaned against the wall and followed the steps of the staff member just now, passing through a few corners, and the staff member explained a few words to a young woman in a suit standing at the elevator entrance and left. Luo Yi looked at the woman's nervous expression, and thought that she must be a newcomer to the company, so she had a plan. She stripped off her mud-strewn coat and pants, revealing her white shirt and trousers, and walked into the elevator not far away to the upper floor.

With a clanging sound, the elevator doors slowly opened. "Director Li, welcome." The young woman bowed her head at 90 degrees and said into the elevator.

Luo Yi was also taken aback by this posture: "Director Li, haven't arrived yet?" She walked up to the woman, saw her name on her badge was "Xu Lai", and said, "Xiao Xu, don't be nervous, the company sent me to be in charge of the reception with you." ”

Xu Lai was surprised when he saw that it was Luo Yi, "I didn't receive a notice from the company that someone else was sent, may I ask who you are?" ”

Luo Yi smiled and pointed to his badge. Xu Lai looked at it and quickly apologized: "It turned out to be a senior, I'm sorry, I just came to the company not long ago, and many people are not very familiar with it, so I'm very sorry just now." ”

Luo Yi patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll come to receive her later." By the way, how many people are in Director Li's entourage, and how was it arranged after that? ”

"The company only asked me to wait for Director Li here, and after receiving it, I just took them directly to the observation room, and I didn't tell me how many people and other arrangements were." Xu Lai said apologetically.

Luo Yi nodded, thinking that Xu Lai was just a sign, and the specific situation could only be improvised. Luo Yi stood at the entrance of the elevator and thought about the next action, while Xu Lai hid behind Luo Yi, he was already afraid of this kind of reception task, but now a senior took the initiative to help, and he couldn't ask for it in his heart.

About two minutes later, the elevator doors finally opened again, and a small, bespectacled, serious-looking man stepped out of the elevator surrounded by a group of tall men in suits.

"Director Li, don't come unharmed." Luo Yi made a thick smile at Li Jian, and Xu Lai lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake behind him.

When Li Jian saw Luo Yi, his originally tense face instantly melted: "Oh! Isn't this Miss Jove, I didn't expect to see you again, I heard the call of a magpie when I got up today, and I wondered what happy events would be waiting for me, so this surprise was you. Li Jian laughed.

Luo Yi laughed, stepped forward and shook Li Jian's hand tightly and said, "You are my surprise." This is not the place to talk, when you are done today, I will accompany you. Luo Yi's words made Li Jian's heart bloom, and he forgot to let go of the hand holding Luo Yi.

"Xiao Xu, you lead the way in front and take Director Li to the observation room." After speaking, Xu Lai hurriedly bowed to Li Jian, and led everyone to the observation room at the front.

The crowd came to the door of the observation room. Luo Yi smiled and said, "Director Li, I won't accompany you on business, I'll go and prepare first, and then I'll have fun with you when it's over." Seeing that Luo Yi was leaving, Li Jian was reluctant, but he couldn't force him to stay, so he could only give up. Luo Yi did not leave after sending Li Jian and his entourage into the observation room, but quietly followed everyone after they entered, and sat down in a corner of the observation room.

This underground observation room is dozens of times larger than an ordinary laboratory, more like a medium-sized theater, and the lights in it are focused on the front row, so Luo Yi hides in the last dark corner and no one notices at all. It was Cherry Yang who received Li Jian, dressed in a gorgeous dress, and his gestures revealed elegance. After a brief greeting between Cherry Yang and Li Jian, Li Jian was introduced to the person who explained, this time the person in charge of explaining was a young man, who was Wu Lan's first assistant, it seems that Wu Lan's body has not fully recovered, the young assistant seems to be full of confidence in this demonstration, and his gestures are full of confidence and pride.

As the lights in the observation room dimmed, the demo began.
