Forced by the monster into the ventilation duct, I didn't expect the turtle dove and the little worm to drill and drill, and actually drilled into the control room in this area, looking at the various instruments in front of him and with different functions, the turtle dove said that this happiness came too suddenly.

But why "happy", this turtledove is not very clear, he saw the little insect look happy, only to follow her happy, in fact, what is the specific thing and happy, the turtledove is not at all scratched.

"Smack."

After observing the surrounding environment, the little insect quickly found the switch to control the lights in the room, and the wall lamps lit up one after another, and the huge control room was suddenly brightly lit.

The sudden light was so bright that the turtledove couldn't open his eyes, and he blocked it with his hands, and it took a long time before he finally regained his adaptation to the bright environment, and the whole way was in the dark, and the turtledove almost forgot what it was like when there was light.

In front of him was a curved platform, with hundreds of buttons and a dozen bright and dark displays, and the little worm jumped onto a swivel chair in front of the platform, carefully identifying the functions of the buttons.

The worm said that this is the control room, so it shouldn't be bad.

Turtledove didn't have any interest in those strange buttons, he first glanced at the "No. 3 monitor" that the worm just said, and he could vaguely see a black shadow moving slowly on the screen of the black hole, if he didn't look closely, he thought the screen was not open.

It turns out that these displays are all on, but most of the environment in which the monitor is located is in a dark state, so the picture is mostly a large piece of black, which is not very real.

Looking at the monster in the monitor, Ikaruga soon found it boring again, and he wandered around the control room aimlessly, finally discovering something interesting.

Far from the curved platform, Ikaruga found a few packs of cigarettes on a table, a rather delicate lighter, and some drinks and food, but the food and the like had spoiled and could not be eaten for too long.

He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and before the turtledove could exert any force, the paper roll on the outside of the cigarette shredded into confetti, and all the damp tobacco was scattered on the table, and the turtledove stared at the tobacco on the table, and threw away the cigarette butt, which was still intact.

A duty log.

Although the book cover of the journal was plasticized, the paper inside the duty log was yellow and brittle, and the turtledove had to sit on the edge of the table carefully, not even daring to pick it up, but blew the dust on it very lightly, and then gently lifted the book cover.

It's a pity that there is nothing useful.

The yellow paper was all blank, and the turtledove thought at first that it had been a long time, and the handwriting on it was blurred, but he looked at it twice more to see that it was not the handwriting that had disappeared, but that the part that had recorded the content had been torn off.

The original thick duty log is now left with a thin layer, and most of the content in it was torn off a long time ago, leaving only such an empty shell.

Fortunately, the turtledove didn't intend to find anything useful in the first place, so after finding nothing, he didn't feel too much loss in his heart, and didn't he also get a lighter.

I tried to use the lighter, and what made the turtledove feel a little comforted was that the oil and gas in the lighter had volatilized a lot over the years, but it was barely able to fight, indicating that it was not broken, and it could still be used if you found an opportunity to add some gas.

Turtledove doesn't smoke and doesn't smoke, of course you still have to keep a good-looking lighter, this lighter seems to be pure silver, and the carving on it is also quite artistic, at least turtledove can't understand what this moment is.

What ordinary people don't understand is called art, and everyone understands it, isn't it so high.

It can be seen that this lighter must have been very fond of it by its owner before, and often played with it in his hand, so that the inscription on the lighter's body was almost smoothed, but since its owner loved it so much, how could he be willing to leave it here.

Unless it was too much of a hurry when I left.

Turtledove was not the material for being a detective, he thought about it twice and felt bored, so he stopped thinking about it, but continued to look at the other things on the table, nothing more than some teacups, ashtrays, etc., and Turtledove found some other miscellaneous items nearby, but everything that should have been written had been torn off the useful parts.

Happily put the lighter in his pocket, and after the turtledove finished searching this side, he turned around to see if there was anything he found on the little worm's side, and he approached the little worm's side in three or two steps, and asked:

"How's it going, have you found where the communication relay station is?"

Originally, when escaping from the No. 46 test site, the turtledove and the little worm were going to the communication relay station, and after such a long delay, the turtledove has not forgotten this stubble.

"The communication relay station is slow," the bug said to the turtledove, "I was trying to find information about this institute, and guess what. ”

"All the data has been deleted?"

The turtledove subconsciously replied to the little worm.

"How do you know?"

The little worm glanced at the turtledove rather in surprise, she really didn't expect the turtledove to guess.

"It's the same on my side," Ikaruga pointed behind him, "everything that has written down has been torn up and destroyed, so I think it's the same on your side." ”

Worm glanced in the direction the turtledove was pointing, she groaned and didn't know what she was thinking, and after a moment the worm looked back at the instrument in front of her, and did not speak for a long time.

……

"What are you thinking?"

Turtledove asked.

"I'm thinking...... What happened in this place, such a large-scale underground research institute, why did the new empire abandon it, and why did its coordinates appear in Huangsha Town, which is hundreds of kilometers away, and what kind of places are the rest marked with the few coordinates we obtained in Huangsha Town. ”

The little worm held his cheek in both hands and asked the turtledove a long list of questions.

"What's the use of thinking about this," Turtledove began to puzzle the little worm in a rare way, "instead of pondering here, you might as well quickly find your way to the communication relay station, isn't there a ready-made 'answerer' there, if we have any questions, you can ask him." ”

The "answerer" in the mouth of the turtledove refers to the mysterious person who sent them a distress signal and saved them in the No. 46 test site.

"That's right," the little worm gave the turtledove an appreciative look, "we can't think of a reason for sitting here bald, and the best thing to do is to go to the communication relay station first, and maybe we can find the answer there." ”
