Chapter 15: Deepening
The light cast above was swallowed up by darkness.
In the vertical cylindrical garbage collection tunnel, Diggie flew up and down, struggling to survive the peak of the garbage fall and reach the top.
Oooo
A few muffled sounds echoed, indicating that the way had been sealed. Unwillingly, it ignited its own flame in the darkness, trying to see if it could burn through this barrier. Time passed little by little in the faint light, but the 'lid' that covered the recovery channel didn't know what material it was, not to mention the heat resistance, there was not even a little sign of blackening and deformation in the fire, and it seemed that the idea of leaving the same way was not working.
Diggie's big eyes blinked twice, slowly extinguishing the purple-black flames that wasted energy, and glanced at the seamlessly sealed walls around the circle of perception, and did not waste any more time. It looked at the black bottom with no head in sight below, and simply floated straight down.
......
Above the bustling futuristic city, a luxury shuttle of the latest model, called the 'Premium Urban SUV', shuttles between the dense Qionglou buildings. Compared to the plain flying machines around it, it is particularly eye-catching.
In the car, the fat boy who is set up as an intelligent driver reclines on the comfortable seat and raises his hand to click on the light curtain connected to Skynet (similar to a smartphone), browsing various information to pass the time. But today, even if he saw his favorite show, he couldn't calm down and watch it.
The thin eyebrows were raised one by one, and the flying boy turned to look at the red and yellow hairs in the back seat, and said the words repeated many times: "Did we really win?"
Alas~ Holding his forehead and staring at the obese face with a double chin in front of him, Hongmao simply didn't say anything, and pulled his fingers twice, and turned his light curtain to Feizi and pointed at Feizai: "Look at it, what is written in this paragraph of 'Winners'? Read it out to me!"
"I'll take a look, Yufei, Wang Xiaoming, Li Hong....." Feizi's mung bean eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said stupidly after chattering: "It's really the three of us." Wow, it's beautiful to see Ellie thinking about it. ”
Huang Mao, who was sitting next to Hongmao, also raised his eyebrows with a funny face that all men understand, and said, "We not only want to meet, but also be a male pig's foot...... Oh, yes!"
Huang Mao remembered one thing and hurriedly asked, "The location of the 'Girl Ellie's Great Battle' is in the impression of Zhouguang III. Brother, don't make a mistake, go and take a look. I didn't charge this car after I went to the waves yesterday, so it's a bit of trouble if it's wrong. ”
"Hmm...... Let me see. Fei Zai turned around and determined the route, remembered a rumor and said casually: "It seems that the Celestial Light Foundation has made some big moves recently, which is to enter the Imperial Foreign War Department..... What are you going to do to 'reopen the abyss'.... Like, right?"
He said vaguely and couldn't think clearly, and Hongmao, who was concerned about the news of the war, added: "It is the proposal of the Ministry of Foreign Warfare that has been voting and rejecting the famous campaign plan that has been voted on almost hundreds of times - 'reconquest of the abyss'. ”
"Yes, that's right. Huang Mao chatted on the topic: "In my opinion, this proposal is meaningless. Have the people in their military department healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and forgotten the tragic end of the first interdimensional expedition to the abyss three hundred years ago?"
As he spoke, he began to get excited, and his voice became louder: "At that time, the empire lost hundreds of worlds, and it was only after blocking three dimensional passages of different sizes that it prevented the invasion of the abyss. In our family, if I remember correctly, we lost nearly 30 resource planets at that time! That loss has not been recovered now, and I say that if the Ministry of Foreign Warfare agrees to this proposal again, they must be crazy. ”
"Maybe there's a new type of large-scale mechanical unit that has been developed and expanded. Whatever, what does this kind of thing really have to do with us, the family doesn't touch those businesses now. The red fur said indifferently.
Fei Zai also agreed with his thoughts, "Yes, Brother Huang, why do we relatives want to do this? Anyway, the family gives money, what's wrong with not causing trouble and enjoying yourself in peace?"
"Yes. ”
"Brother, you said something worm. ”
", don't say you're not an Imperial moth. ”
The three happy gentlemen are put aside for the time being, and Diggie, who is walking through the underground cleaning system facility, is in some trouble.
'Warning, warning, found that there was stubborn waste that was not disposed of in time, and activated Plan 4. ’
A piercing alarm resounded over the wide dissolution pool, a spherical space on the ground filled with miserable green solution, and Diggie wandered left and right looking for a way out. Luckily, the bottom of the black hole that transports garbage is actually a honeycomb-shaped cavity, and as soon as it lands on it, it is burned by the fire that suddenly erupts from the hole. Fortunately, Diggie is an abyssal creature, and he has completed his evolution in the flames, and it can still endure that temperature, so he went directly into the hole and broke into the current place with fire.
Unlike the flames, Diggie looked at the garbage that had been burned to slag from above and fell into the miserable green solution below, and he had no desire to enter the liquid. You know, the scum doesn't even really enter the liquid, but the contact with its surface dissolves into a cloud of exhaust gas in the air, and it doesn't ripple. So I didn't want to experience this feeling, so I had to continue floating here.
To add insult to injury, I don't know if there is some kind of detection mechanism in the air, which now inexplicably triggers some kind of program and is mistaken for a stubborn waste to enter the next cleaning protocol.
Grunt.......
After listening to this warning, Diggie saw that smoking bubbles began to bubble from the surface of the green dissolution pool below, and the temperature around him seemed to be rising. These two signs indicated that something terrible might happen in the future, and it was circling faster in the air with a ring of alarm bells. Not only was it not enough for the body to wander around, but its five small balls also flew around, hitting the wall from time to time with a muffled sound.
But no, no, no! The smooth and flat curved wall seemed to be made as a whole, and it was so tightly stitched that there was no opportunity to provide it with it. Before you know it, the temperature has reached the required level, and the dissolving tank is boiling completely. The green liquid inside gushed with countless gurgling bubbles, like a shaken bottle of Coke suddenly opened, and the bubbles or foam produced by the solution quickly rushed upward.
In the blink of an eye, these green bubbles were almost from bottom to top, occupying the entire spherical space and engulfing Diggie, who had found nothing.
Fortunately, in the midst of the crisis, it had no choice but to soar into the sky, and returned to the metal incineration device above to seek refuge in the hot flames spewing above.
Hey, gradually slowing down, seeing that there was no movement behind him, Diggie stopped flying in the fire and looked down. Sure enough, the surging bubbles below just filled the spherical space, and began to gradually disintegrate and retreat.
"Then how do you get out?" There is a feeling of 'there is no way to go to heaven and no hope to enter the earth', and Di Ji doesn't know if he has experienced it. There was a hint of anxiety in its heart, and its eyes were focused on the fading bubbles, hoping to see something. Minute by minute, the slowly fading bubble didn't make it wait too long, and sure enough, a glimmer of opportunity was revealed.
The inspection procedure of the clean system found that some bubbles of green liquor were still adhered to the curved wall after subsiding. The flat and seamless wall immediately shrank into several two-meter-diameter openings, and a hot wind blew out of it and poured into the circular space. Under this gust of wind, the remaining foam can be seen to the naked eye as it rapidly melts and slides down the pool, and the wall is clean and traceless again.
As for the specific truth in it, Diggie was not interested at all, it just saw a way out. Without thinking much about it, he immediately rushed in as fast as he could, and left here before the mouth of the hot air cave was reclosed.
