Chapter 2: Hometown

The battle squad continued to advance towards the upper level.

The floors that passed through were basically controlled by the major cities, and there was nothing bizarre, except for the placement of some projectors, the combat team did not stop.

Soon the team came to their starting point, the "Fortress" level.

This layer, as the hometown of the "Journey to the Underworld", does hide a lot of secrets.

The statue and stone chair, as well as the E703 lieutenant, have been located on this level for thousands of years, and as the control center of the rescue pod, there must be many secrets on this level that have not been discovered.

The city of "Fortress" was both frightened and excited by the arrival of this army.

The only one who was a little depressed was Horn, who had just sent the expedition team away, waiting for them to bring news from the surface.

As a result, Lias came and gave them a showdown.

From the underworld, to the planet Uriel, to the planet Dyson sphere shelter program, and finally to the incredible third-party ship.

Horn and the others couldn't imagine that the world they were in was just a rescue pod of a huge spaceship, or just one layer of it.

Leaving two projectors for Horn to digest, Lias and his team have set off from the "fortress" to explore the unknown area of the level.

The Fortress is full of circular pipes, and the Cobra is too large to enter, but the multi-legged mechanical vehicle can still be used.

Lias and Daniel each led a team, dressed in power armor and driving a multi-legged chariot, to sweep through the dim underground.

"Look, Berg, there's our original gathering place ahead! You should remember, right? Lias pointed to the passage ahead and said in a very cheerful tone.

It's been almost two years since he left the Gathering, and Berg has grown into a big boy, and he's now a "Paladin" with excellent healing abilities.

"Armand and Joey didn't come this time, they must miss it too." Berg spoke much more calmly.

Turn the corner of the passage and there is an unforgettable place in front of Lias.

Almost every brick and stone here was imprinted in his mind, and Lias could touch it all with his eyes closed.

As they walked through the intersection, they set off the gathering place alarm, a familiar sound that made everyone laugh.

However, what they didn't expect was that a group of people rushed out of the residential area in front of them, holding metal spears in their hands, and the shiny tips of the spears were neatly pointed at everyone.

"Huh? Someone actually took this place? Lias was a little puzzled: "After the newcomer manufacturing plant is damaged, isn't there no source of newcomers in this gathering place?" How could there still be anyone? ”

A few people on the opposite side looked at the people wearing power armor, and they also had some relatives in their hearts: "Who are you?" Why trespass into our territory! ”

Lias opened his mask and let out a hearty smile: "Haha, your territory? Well, even if it's yours. ”

"This gathering place is where we set out two years ago, and we're going home to have a look, but then again, when did you come here?"

The people on the other side were still a little vigilant, and then an older woman came over, she listened to the conversation between the two sides, and saluted Lias and the others:

"You are the leaders of the Mamba? Welcome back here. ”

Lias was a little surprised: "You know Mamba? Who are you? ”

The woman replied, "I'm not a big man, just a wanderer who has received the kindness of the Mamba chief. ”

She motioned for her companion to lay down her weapon: "I came here after the Mamba leader left, these metal spears are still left by you, right?" ”

Lias nodded: "I said it looks familiar, I guess we didn't have time to take it with us when we left." ”

He said to the woman, "My name is Lias, and I am now a member of the Journey to Hades. ”

As he spoke, he took out a projector: "The outside world has changed dramatically, so be ready to leave." ”

The woman took the projector and said to him, "This is your home, you have the right to come back and see, please." ”

Lias thanked her and asked Berg to unload a large bag of instant dry food from the multi-legged chariot and hand it to the woman.

This bag of instant dry food is not comparable to the flour barley that I used to eat, it contains fried dried dough cakes, dried meat, vegetable buns, etc., all kinds of nutrients are very balanced and delicious, and it is specially researched by Fran for everyone to eat when there is no fire in the wild.

The woman thanked her again, and then led the group into the gathering place.

Every room here is familiar, including the quarters, the storeroom, Susie's study, and ......

In front of him was a small hall where the "Lord" and stone chairs were placed.

This small hall is now stacked with all kinds of miscellaneous items, and it is no longer the same as it used to be, and Lias also knows that he can no longer go back to the past.

He was the first person to receive a "Fragment of Divine Power" from the "Lord", and his belief in the "Lord" has never changed.

He will continue to follow in the footsteps of the Lord, from the earth to the earth, from Uriel to the universe, and forever.

After leaving the initial gathering place, Lias's party continued to advance deeper into the passage.

Combined with the maps they left behind, they will have to explore all the untouched corners of this world.

If this floor is really the core control area of the rescue chamber, then in order to ensure that the rescue chamber can work smoothly in the future, the control area must be identified.

There is a significant difference between the map of the rescue pod given by F027 and the underground world thousands of years later, which also makes it much more difficult for the team to explore.

However, according to the original structural drawing, the core control area of this layer covers a large area, and it should not be difficult to find.

Daniel's side had come to the place where he had found the E703 lieutenant.

This is a database, guarded by an octopus machine, but unfortunately all the data has been deleted, and no clues can be found.

But the existence of this database is a clue in itself, and Daniel asks the team to search separately to see if they can find the missed corners.

The hard work paid off, and everyone almost smashed the walls through the cabinets, and finally found the way to the real control room under the platform at the entrance.

The real control room, directly below the E703 lieutenant they dug out, is very large, except that the machines in the control room are almost all destroyed.

Judging from the traces of destruction, it should have been done by those who lost hope thousands of years ago.

Losing hope of returning to the third ship, they ended up smashing the entire control room and choosing to self-destruct.
