Chapter 159: The Metropolis
"We've been climbing for almost an hour, and this place is a little too deep." Cha Mo was at the end of the line, that is, the one at the top, she used her mechanical arm to control her body, stretched and said.
Susie below said, "I want to slide all the way down, how long can I climb so slowly?" ”
"Ha, you're still talking about this, think that we may have to climb up then, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?" Catherine in the middle of the line suddenly said this.
Hearing her words, several people trembled and almost slipped.
Even with power armor, the thought of climbing another staircase filled everyone's hearts with despair.
"There you have it!" Lias at the bottom suddenly cried out.
"I see the light! It should be the glow of the light stick! He pulled out a few more light sticks and threw them down, and sure enough, he saw them land at the bottom of the vertical passage.
"It's finally here!" A group of people happily climbed towards the bottom floor, but Barr was more cautious and said, "Stay safe, and see what is going on outside before going out." ”
Lias had almost jumped to the bottom, where there was also a large iron gate.
He used his power axe to pry open a crack in the door and looked outside: "There is no movement, the air index is normal, the temperature is normal." ”
"Get your weapons ready, don't be served." The high-energy radiation device on the Barr handle was ready to open fire.
Several people stood side by side, and then smashed open the big iron gate at the same time, scattering left and right.
Lias fired a flare that lit up the surroundings, and everyone realized that they were located in a warehouse-like place.
There are a lot of civilian vehicles parked in the warehouse, and it may be an indoor parking lot.
Everything around is dusty, and it seems that no one has been here for a long time.
Cha Mo pointed to the front: "Over there, you see, there is a green light on." ”
Everyone looked in her direction, and there was indeed a little green dot in the distance, which made everyone nervous.
Lias didn't speak, waved his hand left and right, and the six of them immediately formed an attack formation, scattered into three groups, and searched forward in the shape of an arrow.
There was nothing unusual on the road, and everyone walked in front of them to find that the green light was actually a sign for a safety exit.
"This thing has been lit up here for thousands of years?" Lias licked his lips: "The quality is good." ”
"The exit ahead?" The tea probe looked over: "There's a sliding door there, is it going out from there?" ”
Susie has been checking her surroundings: "We haven't encountered any threats for the time being, but judging by the situation of vehicles on this level, ......"
She showed a 3D model of one of the cars: "These cars are all powered by magnetic levitation, and it really seems that they were left over from thousands of years ago. ”
"We found the core area of the third boat?!" Barr exclaimed with some surprise: "This area has not been touched for thousands of years, which also means that the core area of the third-party boat should be well preserved!" ”
"Don't jump to conclusions yet," said Susie, pointing to the front, "let's get out of this door first." ”
The sliding door is very heavy and difficult to open without power.
Relying on the brute force of the power armor, several people forcibly lifted the multi-ton sliding door.
As soon as they were lifted through a crack in the door, a cold wind blew out from under their feet, startling everyone.
Tea Mo lay on the ground and looked out, only to see a world where the wind was raging and the dust was blowing.
"It seems to be quite lively outside, there is no temperature difference and convection in the underground world, why is there such a strong wind?" The tea powder is somewhat incomprehensible.
Everyone worked together to carry the sliding door, walked out of the building in the wind, and then gradually saw the world clearly in the dim background light.
It was a megacity, more magnificent and spectacular than any city they had seen before.
High-rise buildings are lined up, and multi-storey traffic circles between these hundreds of meters high.
This is supposed to be a city built by humans inside a third-party boat thousands of years ago, and there should be a lot of people living here.
The crowd came to the main road and walked along these rather metallic paths.
The buildings along the road are old, but they are not damaged, and even the glass windows are intact.
It's just that the wind in the city is howling all the time, blowing dust everywhere.
There is also a green belt next to the streets of the city, but all the plants in the green belt have turned into dirt.
Walking through the empty green belt, everyone came to a storefront facing the street.
The door was closed, but through the glass door, a lanyard could be seen rotting and broken, and a door number had fallen to the ground.
The door sign reads "Closed today", and it seems that the clerk left in a hurry.
"It's a coffee shop!" Cha Mo leaned on the glass door and looked inside: "You see, the decoration inside is quite good." ”
……
White Tang on the upper level is watching them through the system screen.
"Adjutant, can you tell how many years the city has been abandoned?" Looking at this dead city, White Tang felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
The base intelligence lieutenant replied, "We have obtained a chronology from the planetary control center on the planetary 'Uriel'. ”
"Just find the iconic time in the city, like a newspaper or an electronic clock, and you can tell when the city is silent."
White Tang nodded: "Then let them look carefully for the tea powder." Also, where did such a strong wind come from in an underground city? Could it be that some climate controller or something is broken? ”
The adjutant replied: "It is likely that there is a malfunction in the air circulation system, and such a large city needs to maintain a certain amount of air flow, but now this wind speed is obviously unreasonable." ”
"It's normal for the speed limiter to break, but we don't know anything about the city, and it might be a hassle to fix the system," White Don said. ”
"The third-party boat looks like it was in use for a while, I don't know if it was before or after the Shadowing Project."
"Or when the third-party boat was built, the people involved lived in the city, so what are the dozen or so layers of the world above? Aren't they meant to be inhabited? ”
The adjutant followed his train of thought and said, "Judging from the size of this city, there are at least a million people living here, more than the dozen worlds above combined. ”
"If there are all such cities in the third party, then why make a layered world like the above? Wouldn't that be inconvenient? ”
