After sitting on the ground for a while, holding on to the poison filter canister and gasping for a few breaths, his eyes staring blankly at the underground space illuminated by the "black light", Long Yun didn't stand up until he felt a little better, he slowly turned his head to look around, his eyes stayed on the "giant tree" that emitted a large piece of light behind him, and he raised his hand and grabbed his hair a few times in a daze, but his head was still completely clueless like a big pot of paste.

After trying his best to enter the underground of the "Dead City", from the previous touch of the "giant tree", an inexplicable "mirage" suddenly appeared, but what is going on with this qiē?

Thinking blankly in place, Long Yun raised his hand and looked at his wrist.

In this strange underground space, the intricate mechanical watch is still working faithfully, and the long and short hands point to 7:20; Of course, the meaning of this number itself is very limited, combined with the self-flipping calendar next to it, Long Yun really read the time, and it is now the morning of the second day after entering the "black wall".

In total, he had been unconscious in this underground space for several hours since he touched the "giant tree".

After midnight, he fell into the "mirage", and slowly woke up in the morning, which is a bit similar to the previous crossing, could it be that he just crossed inexplicably.

Driven by more mysteries in search of a great secret, the exhausted young man stood for a moment beside the eerily glowing "giant tree" to consider what to do next. Unconsciously, the breathing resistance of the canister became stronger and stronger, and he leaned down and found another one from his backpack to replace, but as far as he could reach, there were only two brand-new canisters bumping and bumping. Apparently he only had a little time to stay here. Then it will have to be returned to the ground. Go get more supplies.

Time was pressing, holding the poison filter canister for a while, and then turning his head to look up at the "giant tree" that stood abruptly in the huge space, and imprinted this strange and bizarre scene in his mind, Long Yun stepped away from the foot of the "giant tree" and walked towards the end of the road that spiraled up along the wall of the giant pit.

Yes, no matter how much doubt there is in your heart, it is useless to stand here in a daze.

I have experienced direct contact with the "giant tree", or a huge amount of mysterious energy mediums. It seems that the consciousness has changed slightly, and it is different from the distraction when I came in, walking up the wide road that circulates around, and the strange "black light" that illuminates the surroundings is still the indescribable hue; However, unlike the previous hallucinations, the current Long Yun clearly felt that this "light" was only used to illuminate the way, and what he saw now was completely real without hallucinations.

It is impossible to say why this judgment came about, but he can be sure of it.

After experiencing "Mirage". I don't know why, but the young man's mind seems to have an inexplicable sense with the mysterious power that pervades the "dead city". In other words, it is a kind of "fusion" on Cheng dù.

He didn't pay attention to this change at first, but as he moved towards the top of the giant crater step by step, the scene of a slightly blurred vision and a little black and white noise had disappeared, and became a colorless black and white picture, as if it had been improperly tuned before, and now it was completely resonant.

The illusion has disappeared, does this mean that everything you see now is a true portrayal of this underground space?

The huge pit deep underground, from the bottom of the pit to the small entrance at the top, the height is always a few hundred meters away, and the upward walk consumes a lot of Long Yun's body, and his breathing becomes a little heavy; However, compared to his tired physical condition, he was now much clearer after leaving the rather hot underground environment.

Along the way, he recalled the "mirage" he had experienced before, and tried to figure out what the scene presented by the "giant tree" meant, obviously it was a future war in the context of advanced science and technology, but in addition, whether it was the inexplicably possessed "Long Yiyun", or his lover "Shangguan Jing", or even the "Central Tower" that was inexplicably similar to the shining thing around him, what kind of picture would this qiē related to each other, he still had no idea what kind of picture this qiē would pose.

There will naturally be a lot of ideas, ideas, but a lot of consciousness fragments are not the truth after all, after walking to the platform at the beginning of the curve, Long Yun has already decided to put these things aside for the time being.

There are more and more mysteries, and if you are completely trapped in them, you will not be able to figure out anything!

Since he went to the "Dead City" alone to investigate the cause of the tragic night, or the mysterious power that shrouded the base, it was natural for Long Yun to think that this intention had already been conceived - it was obvious that the trick that killed all the personnel in the "Rome" base in an instant came from this "giant tree"; Then what he needs to investigate next should probably be the real reason for this incident.

After all, just take a look around, this large-scale underground base is by no means easy to build in three or five days, so even if the "giant tree", that is, the storage of a huge amount of energy media, is detected, then why is this base still under normal construction and operation at the beginning, and the people inside are still safe and sound?

What happened in the meantime, from normal operation and what seemed to be some research going on, to the tragedy that caused the "Rome" base to become a "dead city" with no trace of people.

With such doubts, he slowly left the platform overlooking the "giant tree" along the open entrance, returned to the huge space that he had hurriedly walked through before, and stood on a high place to sweep the messy scene in the hall, Long Yun found that this seemed to be a temporary research place in the underground base, and in addition, when he was attracted by the mysterious power and hurriedly walked by, several branch airlocks that he didn't notice also entered Long Yun's sight at this time.

Discovering that the underground part of the "Rome" base was huge, Long Yun was a little confused at first, he didn't know why the KGB was building so much underground.

It seems that the huge hall in front of him, which is tens of meters deep, is only a "hub" of the underground space of the base, and there seem to be other ancillary spaces around it; Such a building structure is of course nothing on the ground, but considering that it is hundreds of meters underground, any excavated earth and rock needs to be transported to the surface for processing, so it is probably not an exaggeration to describe it as "every inch of land".

Of course, thinking of the illusion he had encountered before, how far from here to the ground was, Long Yun really didn't have a very clear concept of this.

After clarifying this and realizing that everything in this underground base was very important, Long Yun made up his mind.

Although it seemed completely unnecessary, he groped for a "Makarov" pistol from his backpack and held it in his hand, and it was always good to have a weapon in his hand in this eerie underground structure. With a gun in hand and a "black light" to look around, unlike the hurried glances he had come, he began to walk through the vast and messy space in front of him, carefully searching for any clues around him.

While walking, he probably looked around, just like the feeling of walking through the "Dead City" building last time, Long Yun unconsciously gave birth to an illusory feeling.

After all, all the qiē here have been sleeping quietly underground for more than ten years.

Walking through the hall in the pitch black, with the help of a slightly dim "black light" to scan the surroundings, there is no color and a slightly distorted sense of the picture, which makes Long Yun walking on the dust feel a trace of emotion; As I swept my gaze, I looked at the dusty control tables, spherical displays, and various unnamed devices in the partitioned areas, and inadvertently saw the convex outlines of "С.С.С.Р" and "Sickle and Hammer Five-pointed Star" decorated on the metal countertop, and time seemed to turn back to the 1970s, when the Cold War was still going on and the Red Empire was still alive.

Although he knew that the Soviet Union in the parallel world had not collapsed as in the real world, at this moment, seeing these old things with obvious historical marks, and a staff member who had suddenly collapsed and his body had already turned into a skull, and even being killed by mysterious forces in his post, the young man who slowed down his pace could not help but feel a trace of amazement and a faint sentimentality in the face of this situation.

Buried deep in the underground of the "dead city", if he hadn't visited alone, would these people who worked silently on the secret front and suddenly welcomed death still sleep here in solitude and silence? If people really have souls, Long Yun can't help but wonder if the souls of these people will have a trace of unwillingness when they suddenly lose their lives, and they will always be pinned on the posts they fought for before their deaths, and until today, they will also linger quietly and silently.

As an atheist believer, Long Yun certainly knew that this qiē fantasy was all in vain, the dead could not be resurrected, and there was no way to return the lost time; However, here and now, as a secret seeker, he unconsciously thinks that perhaps doing his job well and discovering the truth behind the tragedy of the "dead city" is the best consolation for these martyrs.

Walking slowly in the hall slightly illuminated by the "black light", all the way through the messy center of the venue, Long Yun, who was holding the "Makarov", although he was emotional, did not stop, he followed the light to the side of the hall, came to the side of the hall that stretched high, and slowly walked into a short corridor with the airlock wide open.

Leaving the center of the hall and entering the low corridor to search, he temporarily calmed down his emotional mood, Long Yun's goal now is very clear, in fact, he doesn't expect to find the same thing here, and then he can naturally figure out what happened in the base. (To be continued......)
