The drain pump, which was filled with oil, was back to work, and the water was being drained little by little, and when the water level dropped, the generator was finally able to run again, and when the generator was activated, the worm and the turtledove made great strides back to the freight elevator.

Indeed, as the worm said, with the power supply, the freight elevator is finally ready to use.

The power was restored, and the lights along the pipe were lit up, but due to the lack of maintenance and repair for a long time, most of the lights embedded in the wall were slightly brightened and quickly extinguished, and only a few were barely holding on, emitting a faint orange glow.

The worm pressed the button of the freight elevator, only to hear a small "buzzing" sound, the freight elevator parked on the upper floor was slowly descending, and the two people glanced at each other, and they both saw a fairly obvious impatience from each other's faces.

"Boom."

The heavy freight elevator stopped in front of the turtledove and the worm, the turtledove stepped forward, reached out and opened the iron mesh door of the freight elevator, let the worm walk in first, and the turtledove who followed the worm with his right hand again forcefully closed the iron mesh door of the freight elevator.

The interior of the freight elevator is the same as the outside, there are only two buttons, up or down, and there is no specific floor marked.

"Let's go."

The turtledove nodded at the worm, and the worm pressed the "up" button, and in a "buzzing" sound, the freight elevator carrying the two young men began to run upward.

The freight elevator was so boring that Worm began to tidy up her messy Moxie again, twisting her wet hair, and Worm looked up.

The turtledove standing next to the insect had no hair to take care of, so he had to play with his fingers there, occasionally looking down at his feet, and time passed like this, and it wasn't long before the freight elevator reached its top.

Carefully pulling open the iron mesh door, the turtledove appeared in front of a brand-new, huge space full of darkness.

……

"Is there any mistake," Turtledove poked his head out of the wire mesh door of the freight elevator, "why is it that this place is pitch black everywhere, and you can't see anything, isn't there a bright spot here?" ”

The little worm pushed the turtle dove out, she walked to the outside of the freight elevator in two steps, glanced around, frowned and said, "Don't be busy complaining, I see that there are weirdness everywhere here, maybe it's not a good idea for us to run up recklessly." ”

With excellent night vision, Worm found that the surrounding area was empty, a hall-like place of hundreds of square meters, the building as a whole was circular, and there was an elevator entrance every other distance around it, and she and Turtledove were currently only one of the elevator entrances.

It seems that this building, built by the new empire under the Central Hospital, is really not small.

"There's a door over there, and it's supposed to leave from there."

The worm understood the situation here, and said that this place was almost an elevator room, where you had to take the elevator up and down, but almost all the elevator rooms here had lost their power supply, and it was no different from a furnishing.

Carrying the gas lamp brought up from the lower floor, the turtledove honestly followed the insect's ass, looking left and right, but could not see anything.

Before coming up, the turtledove also deliberately added oil to the gas lamp again, which was the only little kerosene left, and God knows where to replenish it when it ran out, so after taking the elevator, the turtledove extinguished the gas lamp, so that he could save some kerosene.

When he came to the upper floor, the turtledove still did not light the gas lamp, he felt that there was a small insect next to him who could see things in the dark, and now it was not a particularly urgent situation, and it was a waste to light the lamp, in case of any unexpected situation next, what should I do if the gas lamp ran out of gas.

The little insect laughed at the turtledove for being a little child, and the turtledove thought that he was cautious, after all, he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

……

The two of them came to the "door" that the worm said, and indeed as the worm said, there was a door here, which looked quite high-tech.

The pure white door frame seems to be made of some special metal, the turtledove tentatively pressed it with his fingers, it is very strong, the door itself is painted silver-gray, the turtledove knocked twice, and the door frame should be of the same material.

This door is very similar to the big iron door below, both have a slide rail, which can be pushed left and right, but the material of this door is obviously higher than the material of the iron door, and it has not been eroded by water vapor all year round, so it can be easily opened to the right.

Not only was the rails not rusted, but the reason why the door was pulled open by the turtledove was entirely because the door was not locked.

In the usual sense of the keyhole, there is a palm-sized transparent area on this door, because of the loss of power supply, this area does not glow as before, but is dim, and if it is not pointed out to the turtledove, the turtledove really can't really notice.

"If it's powered up, it'll glow," the worm said to the turtledove, pointing to the area, "red when it's locked, and green when it's open." ”

"But...... Where should the key be inserted? ”

The turtledove looked left and right, but could not find a place to insert a key in the door.

"You don't need a key to a door like this," the worm said as he led the turtledove to the side, pointing to a small area of glass next to the door, "It's called an iris scanner, you look at it, it authenticates you, and the door opens automatically." ”

The turtledove has never seen such a high-level "door" in the mouse city, and what kind of iris scanner, the turtledove has never even heard of it, let alone how it works.

"How do you know that?"

Turtledove asked, confused, thinking that the worm was a few years younger than himself, so why would she know more than he did.

"You'll know when you've seen a lot," the little worm patted the turtledove on the shoulder with feigned maturity, "young man, there's still a lot you need to see." ”

Actually, Worm didn't know much about this so-called "iris scanner", but she had seen a lot of doors like this before—after all, Worm had spent quite some time in the Wings of Liberty and the New Empire, and ten turtledoves might not know as much about this high-tech thing.

"Be careful," said the worm to the turtledove, "and I always feel that after all this false calm, we are about to come across something thrilling." ”

The little worm didn't talk nonsense to the turtledove, and she did not think it was a good place, - no one knew what kind of place was behind this door.
