Chapter 21: The Steam Storm

After confirming that the bodies were dead, we began to discuss what to do next. It's clear that there is a danger in this place, and I don't know when the temperature will rise explosively.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's get out quickly." Talia suggested.

Although there are still very interesting things about this power plant that have not yet been discovered, it is definitely the most foolish thing to continue to walk at such an unknown risk.

Just as we were about to go back, I seemed to see something familiar around the corner. It was a flashing red light, could it be an emergency light?

I asked Chen Zaihai and them to wait, and I went to confirm that it was the red emergency light. It shouldn't work here, how can this light come on?

What makes people concerned is that there is not only this one in front of me in this vicinity, but at some point the red flash spreads all over the space

"Lao Su, it's the same outside, it's all these lights." Chan is in Kaido.

What the hell is going on, the power plant, which was supposed to be out of power, has its emergency lights on again. If one or two can be considered a coincidence, the number cannot be overstated.

"Why do I feel hairy in my heart, isn't this lamp warning us about anything?" Talia whispered underestimation.

The red light does not feel good, and I seem to be getting more and more agitated, and I really want to smash it all if I can.

"Are we going out now? The timing of this light is a bit too coincidental, as if it is deliberately warning us that there is danger outside," Chen asked.

"It's better to wait and see what happens, this light also makes me very disobedient." I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, "I always feel that something bad will happen when I go out now." ”

Finally, Talia nodded yes.

Now that we've decided to stay here for the time being, we're going to start exploring the space again. From the height we see from the outside, there should be a lot of space above our heads, but no matter how much we search, we can't find a way to get there.

It's all cement bumps, or is there a staircase up the outside of the building?

We cautiously walked around the disgusting corpses and headed for the most important generator set on this level. The steam-powered generator is very large and looks spectacular. The nameplate on it is all in Japanese, and it's roughly about the model and power.

Talia told the engineers to see if it was still possible for them to move. There are no bugs here, and with a stable light source, it's much easier for us to investigate.

The main thing is that those emergency lights are on. Although it is not the same power supply system, it can be inferred that the entire power plant is in good condition. If the wiring is all aged, the light will not come on.

Unfortunately, the engineers said that all of the generators were damaged by the age, and none of them could be used immediately.

"Can't you fix it?" Talia asked.

"It's not that it can't, if you dismantle these ones, and add the devices you saw on the platform before, you should be able to get one back up and running." An engineer replied.

"Then hurry up and do it." Chen Zaihai urged.

The engineers immediately explained that it would take time to repair this thing, firstly, they had never seen this type of generator before, and secondly, it was a huge amount of work from disassembly to assembly, and these processes were usually carried out in a special hoisting workshop.

Now there are no such conditions at all, and the speed of repair will be greatly delayed.

"In three days, the generator won't move at all. And power can only be restored if the rest of the power plant can continue to be used. The engineers concluded.

"There's no point in fixing this thing at all, who knows if those coal crushers and boilers and things like that can be used." Chan is in Kaido.

In the end, we gave up on the idea of restoring electricity, and the amount of work was about the same as that of Ivan, so we didn't have to think about it.

"You all come and see, there seems to be a door here." After dispersing and probing again, Chen Zaihai's voice came out of my sight.

As soon as Talia and I heard about the door, we immediately called the engineers and moved closer to it. Did he find the stairs to go up?

When we rushed over, we realized that this door was a little different from what we had imagined. Not to mention the size, in terms of texture, these are fundamentally different from other things.

If you want to say that it is a bulletproof gate in a bomb shelter, I believe it, which can no longer be described as three defenses. A few shots from a chariot cannon at close range won't necessarily open them up.

The black gate was more than a man tall, and there was an observation window about the height above my head. I struck it with a dagger, and the echo was no different from hitting a concrete wall, it was too thick.

"Little devil, what do you mean by installing such a door in this power plant? Are you afraid of someone calling? Chen Zaihaiqi said.

"Judging by the appearance of the corpses, this should be an emergency shelter. Maybe die to deal with the sudden heat," Talia speculated.

This is very reasonable, and the corpses seem to be facing a door. Maybe they wanted to run into this door before they died.

"Old Su, don't you think this red light flashes faster?" Chen Zaihai said suddenly.

I looked back, and sure enough, the frequency of the flickering was significantly faster than before. I always feel that this thing is a sign of something, and it makes people feel uncomfortable sitting on pins and needles after a long time.

"Does that mean something is coming?" Talia said.

"You guys wait here, I'll go out and see what's going on." Chan is in Kaido.

Just as Chen Zaihai was about to leave, Talia stopped him. Worried, Talia pulls out a bloated white jumpsuit from the engineer. I saw that this is not the three-proof suit we found earlier?

This dress is very thick, with a very thick layer, and even a very thick layer of asbestos, which has a certain heat resistance. The head is also integrated with the gas mask, and the whole looks like a degraded version of today's spacesuit.

Chen Zaihai himself seemed to be very reluctant to wear this thing, but in the end, he couldn't resist Talia and had to put it on obediently. The whole process took nearly twenty minutes, and by the time he was all dressed, he was sweating profusely.

"It's a hot way to go." As the literal meaning is, the rough-handed Chen Zaihai said speechlessly.

"Don't talk nonsense, this red light flashes weirdly. Wearing this might save your life. Talia patted him, "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, go and come back quickly." ”

In this way, Chen Zaihai staggered and disappeared on the other side of the stairs, and the facts afterwards showed that this thing did save Chen Zaihai's life.

"Well, since this is a shelter, maybe we'll need it too. You guys figure it out and see if you can open this thing. Talia turned her attention back to the door.

There was no way, I couldn't do it with a woman like her, so I called a few engineers to try to open the door.

Just as I was about to reach out, I suddenly felt a jolt under my feet. The vision swayed, and there was a sound of things falling all around. For a moment I didn't realize what was happening, there was an earthquake? Volcanic eruptions?

I quickly grabbed the doorknob in front of me, and Talia on the side was also shaken around, and after stabilizing, I pulled her over with one free hand.

The engineers also began to look for support, and the shaking did not last long, stopping after a few seconds. At the same time, I heard a creak inside the door, as if something had activated.

Whining

Everything seemed to be arranged, and as soon as the shaking stopped, this strange sound was heard throughout the power plant.

The voice was empty and emotionless, and it grew faster and faster as time passed. This must be the sound of the internal broadcast of the power plant, right? How can this thing still be used?

"Su Zhenpeng! Look at those lights! Talia's voice was anxious.

To my surprise, the emergency lights kept flashing like crazy, and the frequency was completely different from the previous slow and leisurely feeling.

And this voice, at first I didn't know what it was. But now that I've been listening to it for a long time, I find that this is very similar to a certain deadly voice in our three-defense education!

Isn't that the sound of an alarm! I can't tell if it's an air raid siren or something else, but it's a siren! Since then, this power plant has been trying to warn us about something.

Why we didn't find out that the eight achievements it warned about were this shaking. Something terrible is going to happen.

"What about Chen Zaihai! He's still outside! "It's the first time I've seen Talia worry so much about Chen Zaihai.

"I'll go find him, and you guys will find a way to open the door here!" After leaving these words, I copied the miner's lamp and rushed in the direction where Chen Zaihai left.

The tremor just now was not like an earthquake, and the duration and magnitude of the tremor were far apart. Even more to think about the impact caused by something rushing out of the ground. I thought as I ran.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a light shining from the direction of the platform, and Chen Zaihai should be there.

"Chen Zaihai! Where are you? Hurry back if something happens. I shouted towards the light.

It didn't take long for me to see Chen Zaihai limping towards me, was he injured? That strange tremor just now also affected him?

I didn't even think about running over to him right away, reaching out to help him.

"Old Su! Don't touch me! : Chen Zaihai saw that I was about to help him, so he hurriedly stopped him.

But he was still a second slower, and my right hand was already on his shoulder. Then there was a bone-piercing pain that ran down the nerves in his hands and down to his brain. What the is going on! It's hot!

Now Chen Zaihai is as hot as a freshly baked briquette, if it weren't for the protection of this three-defense suit, eighty percent of him would have been ripe I quickly withdrew my right hand, just such a small touch, I was scalded off a layer of skin.

"What's the matter with you?" I was shocked.

"Don't talk nonsense! Run, run! Not again. Chen Zaihai didn't have time to talk to me in detail, he was just blindly urging me to flee back quickly.

As we spoke, I noticed something floating from the direction of the platform. The thing was invisible and invisible, and the speed was not slow, and in the blink of an eye, it was pressed over in large swaths.

The whole thing seems to be translucent, and the light of the white miner's lamp can penetrate part of it.

At first I thought it was the kind of fog I'd encountered on the ground, but I quickly became sure it wasn't. Obviously, there are still dozens of meters between them, and I feel the heat wave coming on!

"Old Su! Still stunned, run! At this time, Chen Zaihai didn't care if he would burn me, so he grabbed my back collar and dragged me upstairs.

All of a sudden, I realized what those things were! That's hot water vapor! The people above were all steamed to death by this steam!

"That's why my sister said you were stupid. I reminded you so much at the beginning, why didn't you hurry up and enter that door? On the train, the female voice behind me sighed deeply.
