Volume III, 36: Origin
When Chen Xi was slandering, the group of people who were slandered were not idle.
They had descended through an entrance disguised as the base of the fountain to a platform that served as a replacement.
As expected, the power supply has been completely lost, and only the fluorescent green light in the corner of the wall, which is used as an emergency light source, is still on, faintly illuminating the scene.
It looks like a hotel lobby with a relaxing function, with a large number of wooden tables and chairs scattered in the middle, the surrounding walls are replaced by a few real natural scenery, and there is a large bar decorated like a pirate ship nearby, presumably to relieve the stress of work.
The staircase they descended was on either side of the bar, and at the end of the front was a row of direct elevator entrances for up and down the half-circle embedded in the wall.
Of course, without an electric drive, it is certainly impossible to ride now. And according to the information obtained, if there is an unexpected situation in these direct elevators, such as a power outage, or the process of descent is not allowed by the people inside, the closed door made of special metal will be locked from the inside of the elevator passage.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, there were more than 50 pieces, which directly blocked the passage of intrusion from the inside.
Thinking of this, Chang Tian said proudly: "Speaking of which, it's really thanks to that guy's help, if there is no high-level list provided in the notebook, we don't know how much time we will waste if we want to go down." ”
The previous thing that forced Chen Xi with a cynical attitude can be said to have made him feel very relieved, looking at the way that guy swallowed his anger and didn't dare to turn his face, I don't know how much hatred Lu Dao has. Especially thinking about the opportunity to exclude the two of them from the woman's reward, he was very happy.
"The deposit paid to them has 1 attribute point increase, I don't know how many attribute points will be increased when we really complete the rescue task, it is estimated that plus the reward of the evolution center after the most Lu, it will be more than the highest six points, if those people know about Lu Dao" Chang Tian said with a wistful look, as if he had seen the envious and jealous expressions of those who looked down on him before.
"But the more we get to the bottom, the more we can't take it lightly."
Ye Bing cautiously reminded, but he was not as optimistic as Chang Tian. The Center for Evolution is fair. The opposite of the reward is the difficulty. At present, the reward amount of attribute points in the mission has reached 4 points, and you can imagine what awaits them below.
This was the highest level of difficulty they had ever encountered.
Ye Bing looked at the bar thoughtfully: "According to what Nest (the upper echelon of the hospital under control) said, this emergency passage is set up for passage. There is simply no place for us to take advantage of. They could have waited inside. We will withstand their attacks as soon as we appear. ”
Advanced technology does not mean that it is safer and more worry-free, as long as it is made by people, it will have loopholes. The real reassuring arrangement lies in the clever means of closing the loopholes. As the only escape point in the worst-case scenario, the emergency safety passage is controlled by a separate system of its own, and it is the oldest form of mechanical transmission, without worrying about the same fate that would happen when something went wrong in an underground stronghold.
This prevents them from taking advantage of weaknesses and loopholes to make targeted arrangements as they did against the Ground Defense Force.
In other words, the battle that waits for may be tougher.
When they spoke, they were not slow.
When the hospital high-level who was controlled used complicated means such as turning, pulling, pushing and pulling, and forcefully untied the lock on the wall of the bar, which clearly looked like the rudder was actually a mechanism, under a rumbling sound of mechanical transmission, the position of the bar counter was completely removed, and a huge curved passage like a mine tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
Unlike the caverns, which are only supported by wooden frames, not only are the structures changed from wood to metal, but the entire passage is completely infused with metal, and the silly black style inherits the bulky appearance of the tunnel, and it is difficult to paralyze the passage without completely destroying one of the connection points.
The giant minecart was the most conspicuous of all, the wheels of its base alone were as tall as a man, and it was impossible to imagine how many tons of supplies would be needed to fill its interior. Not to mention how much manpower, material resources, and time it would take to build the passage that could accommodate this huge minecart, including the underground stronghold.
It doesn't feel like it matches the information that Xiao Wu found.
Ye Bing keenly discovered this problem, and suddenly asked the hospital senior management on a whim: "Nest, how did this part be built, it's too big and cumbersome, it makes me feel that it doesn't belong to the hospital, after all, including the construction period, the history of this hospital is only more than nine years." ”
Different from ordinary mining passages, this emergency passage that curves to the bottom of the underground is going around the entire underground base, and with the space required for such a large base, if you want to build it secretly without collapsing, a few years is not enough, at least it will take ten or twenty years of hard work to slowly build the foundation.
"Huhu, you're right."
Nest, who was in his fifties, still hadn't recovered his breath after a pause, he touched the sweat on his forehead and replied: "This hole in the ground did exist before the hospital, the hospital was actually built after the underground base was built, and those lines and pipes could only be arranged on this basis, and the origin of this place is related to the woman you want to save." ”
Nest's words surprised Ye Bing, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What's the relationship?" ”
"Could it be that the woman?"
Others asked aloud. Now it's not just Ye Bing who is questioning, but everyone's exploration psychology has been hooked, Chen Xi has never said the origin of the woman before, only the appearance of a girl, so they are all very interested in this kind of drama of a claustrophobic girl.
But curiosity is curiosity, but it doesn't delay what they are about to do.
At this time, they left one of the controlled patients to open the brake valve outside the minecart, and the rest of the people hurriedly walked into the minecart, and then heard a soft sound, and the minecart began to move along the passage to the bottom.
Nest leaned back on the wall of the car, stared at the crowd with his completely godless eyes, and began to tell a dusty history: "In fact, the woman you want to save, the Blood Queen, was found inside, but not by us, nor in the last few decades, but by a group of pirates who accidentally broke in more than five hundred years ago. ”
"At that time, Huacheng was not as beautiful and habitable as it is now, but a rare and barren primitive island, because it was very far away from the main area of human activities, so it had never appeared in history books or wild history notes for more than a thousand years, and naturally no one would have thought that in this remote corner far from human civilization, there would be a tribe that was not so primitive, and the strangest thing was that their cultural life and customs seemed to have been inherited from other civilizations at that time."
"When this group of pirates conquered this tribe with the most advanced gunpowder weapons of the time, they did the same as they did in other places, looting as many possessions and beautiful women as possible, and this secret pit, which the locals called Iros means [forbidden land], came into the sight of this group of pirates, where they found women who had been imprisoned by this tribe for generations, and then brought them back to the civilized world when they returned."
"Later, we got the [Blood Queen] in the hands of the mutants and carefully investigated, and found that the deep pit here was actually formed unnaturally, and the passage we have passed through now has long existed, exclusively for those in the tribe to go down to it, it is certain that this is definitely not a project that can be completed by a tribe of more than a thousand people, in addition, the inside of this pit was filled with a strange ore rich in high energy at the beginning, which can greatly suppress the superpower of [Blood Queen], but now it is no longer there."
Nest's expression and tone seemed to be talking about some great legend, and I have to say that the suspense was set up very well at the beginning, pirates, treks, mysterious islands, primitive tribes connected to civilization, forbidden lands, etc., which made the surrounding audience listen to it very emotionally, which is definitely a prelude to the fire story.
But I don't want to, after saying that he brought back to the world of civilization, he suddenly turned around, and the rhythm of the middle section was simply unstoppable, and there was a feeling of "I took off my pants, and you just gave me this", not to mention that the information in it was also related to the task.
The crowd inevitably asked anxiously, "What about below?" ”
But who knows, Nest replied innocently: "There is no more, in my identity I can only know this, and most of them are still heard from others." ”
The crowd was speechless and utterly overwhelmed.
No one doubted that Nest was lying, because it was very difficult for someone to be controlled by a brain-controlled robot to go against the will of the manipulator, let alone an ordinary person close to retirement age.
Lao Qi scratched his face helplessly, and said: "It seems that the question can only be asked after going in and catching some people who know the situation of the road, I feel that this woman is probably not simple, even some high-level people in the hospital do not know much, and the heart of defense is indispensable, when the guy asked us for help before, maybe there was something to hide, we should be cautious when we wait, don't accidentally get on the road." ”
"Of course, after being suppressed by us so many times, I don't believe that guy won't think we're unlucky." Chang Tian's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he said to the others in a cold voice, "If something is wrong, we will find trouble like that after we get out." ”
Ye Bing also had the same idea, but there was no way, their memories were all lost in the blood-colored space, although there was a feeling that something was wrong, but the task was like this, could they still not do it?
Ye Bing had no choice but to remind Lu Ming: "Old Lu, pay attention to using mechanical creatures to monitor, don't let them play tricks." (To be continued......)
