Chapter 155: The Bottom
"I heard that it's a business trip from the upper echelons? Did they only show symptoms after they arrived in Twilight? White Tang asked.
The city lord of Bruken put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "The first batch of infected people is indeed the caravan group, there are nine of them in total, and three of them already have symptoms when they arrived in 'Twilight' City. ”
"They're coming from the upper floor to buy barley, and there's a permanent shop, and it's in the East End."
Listening to what Bruken told them, it seemed that he had done a detailed investigation before.
"At first, the garrison received a murder case, saying that the three of them were brutally killed, and even the meat was removed."
Bruken shook his head: "After that garrison came into contact with the bodies of the three of them, it also showed symptoms of infection within a few days, and they all died in the line of duty. ”
"But fortunately, they cordoned off the scene, controlled the spread of infection, and controlled all infections in the eastern sector."
"In the East End, at the corner of the innermost street, there's a restaurant, do you remember that, Mr. City Lord?" ”
Bruken nodded: "That restaurant is also the shop of their caravan, and the scene of the death of the three of them is upstairs, and it has been cordoned off ever since." ”
"What did Mr. Tang find there?" He seemed intrigued.
"I found a lot of flesh gathered there, the flesh that had fallen from the bodies of the dead, and it wriggled and gathered together, and it looked disgusting," said White Tang. ”
"But don't worry, Mr. City Lord, those disgusting things have been burned by us, and now there is not even ashes left."
Bruken probably imagined in his mind the scene of countless flesh and blood huddled together, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"It's good to dispose of it, just dispose of it! Mr. Tang, this time it is really thanks to you, we have nothing to repay in 'Twilight' City, and we will try our best to meet your needs if you still need anything. ”
White Tang raised his glass: "Mr. City Lord, this is all a small thing within our ability, we may have to cooperate more in the future, there is no need to be so polite." ”
Bruken also raised his glass: "Then I wish us all the best in the future." ”
After the main meal was finished, the plates were removed, and the fruits and snacks were put on the table.
"Mr. Tang, what is the purpose of your trip to the lower level? As far as I know, no one has ever found the core hub that continues down the fifth floor. ”
"If the bottom five layers are the deepest, that's good news for us." White Tang smiled: "We've been to the surface, so we also want to see what the deepest underground is like, purely out of curiosity, Mr. City Lord, don't be surprised." ”
"Surface ...... What is it like? "There is no one who does not yearn for the ground, and neither is the Lord of Bruken.
White Tang gave a brief account of what was happening on the ground, except, of course, the Dyson Ball and the Third Party Boat.
"Under the light of the sky, the surface environment is already very stable and completely suitable for human life."
The Lord of Bruken was a little surprised: "Really? Did the people of the 'fortress' city consider going to the ground? ”
White Tang nibbled on a green fruit, which tasted a bit like dates: "There must be, I don't know how they prepared." ”
"I told them that if they wanted to go to the ground, they could ask us for help."
He beckoned to Susie, who pulled out a civilian communicator and handed it over.
"This communicator can reach us at any time, Mr. City Lord, you can try it if you need it."
Bruken took the communicator and suddenly asked, "On the ground, is it common for large machines like you to be common?" ”
White Tang said vaguely: "Almost, there are many places, and it is very convenient for everyone to travel." ”
"Then we can't lag behind, and when we are sure that the infection has been controlled, 'Twilight' City will also launch the upper level exploration plan!" Bruken spoke very imposingly, and he was quite competent as the lord of the city.
After eating and drinking, the exploration team did not stop at this level for long, and soon made their way to the lower level along the core hub.
With the pass passes provided by Twilight, as well as those detailed maps, the passage through the lower floors went smoothly.
It took only one day for the exploration team to make their way through the two core hubs to the lower five floors, which Bruken said was the bottom.
When passing through the city of "Kanro", the guards specially reminded them that the bottom layer was a little weird, and many adventurers lost their minds in this layer.
However, there are also many magical treasures on the bottom floor, so many adventurers go to it.
When the Cobra enters the lowest level, the lights shine through, and it is a world full of abandoned buildings.
Countless tall buildings crumbled into ruins, and the ruins and foundations formed the tone of this world.
The Cobra chariot slowly floated above the ruins, the bright light swept by, and the whole world was silent, except for the "hum" of the vehicle's engine.
"We ...... It can take a long time to find your way down. Lias looked at the mess in front of him and scratched his head a little.
"Tell Fran to check it out with a 'high-dimensional projection scan' to see if there is any road to the lower level under this ruin." White Tang said.
The Federation General Colonial Command Base quickly responded, and the results of the "high-dimensional projection scan" came out, and right under their feet, there were all kinds of thick and thin pipes buried under this ruin.
Some of these pipes are ventilated, some are watered, and they all seem to be functioning normally.
Looking at the intricate pipes, and where they went, White Tang judged, "This should be the source of the water and air needed by the worlds in the above layers." ”
"In other words, it's an air/water circulation system, so it looks like this layer is really the last layer."
Cha Mo asked, "The third boat must be so big, the question is how do we go through these pipes and continue down?" ”
White Tang also said: "It's too time-consuming to pop this layer out step by step with 'high-dimensional projection scanning', Lias, let's go around first and see if we can find some signs." ”
The Cobra chariot began to move through the ruins, the world was still fairly empty, and there was no inconvenience in driving.
However, there were no new discoveries along the way, with broken cement blocks and broken steel bars everywhere, and no lighting at all, which made the search very slow.
After nearly two hours of marching, a towering wall stood in front of them.
